F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Review of a progress noted dated 11/28/23, at 10:10 p.m. indicated Resident R5 tested positive for RSV at the hospital. On 12/15/23, at 10:00 a.m. the facility infection control surveillance data was reviewed to learn the number of residents who were diagnosed with RSV. It was noted at this time that for August, September, October, and November 2023, rather than a line-listing of infections, the surveillance data included only a list of residents with antibiotic orders. This listing did not include residents with infections not treated with antibiotics, including fungal and viral infections (including influenza and RSV). During an interview on 12/15/23, at approximately 12:00 p.m. the Infection Preventionist was unable to provide a reason why the surveillance data only included residents with bacterial infections treated by antibiotics. On 12/15/23, at approximately 12:05 p.m. a list of residents that had been diagnosed with RSV was requested. On 12/15/23, at 12:54 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator provided a list of three residents (Resident R12, R67, and R197). During clinical record reviews on 12/15/23, beginning at 1:00 p.m. it was revealed that Resident R5 had been diagnosed with RSV, that Resident R22 had been diagnosed with Influenza, and that Resident R67 had been diagnosed with Influenza.
