controlling and preventing infections. This facility will assign an infection control coordinator to collect data,
monitor and analyze and make recommendations. This data will be submitted to the Quality Assurance
Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee.

confirmed the facility does not currently have an infection Preventionist performing the regulatory required
duties, and that current ongoing infection prevention and control program (IPCP) was not being completed
