F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain professional practices that support infection prevention and control for three of 33 residents reviewed (Resident 58, 63, and 103).Findings include:A facility policy for hand hygiene/handwashing dated May 14, 2025, included that effective hand hygiene reduces the incidence of healthcare-associated infections. Handwashing may be used for routinely decontaminating hands in the following clinical situation: after removing gloves. If hands are not visibly soiled, an alcohol-based hand rub may be used for routinely decontaminating hands in the following clinical situation: after removing gloves. The use of gloves does not eliminate the need for hand hygiene. Remove gloves promptly after use, before touching non-contaminated items and environmental surfaces, and before caring for another patient. Wash hands after removing gloves. Non-surgical hand hygiene technigue includes to wet hand with running water, apply hand washing agent to hands, vigorously rub hands together for at least 15-20 seconds, rinse hands thoroughly with hands angled down in sink, dry hands thoroughly with a disposable towel and use a disposable towel to turn off the water. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 58 dated August 8, 2025, indicated that the resident had moderate cognitive impairment, required the assistance of staff for daily care needs, and had diagnosis that included Bullous Pemphigoid (skin disorder that causes large, itchy blisters). Observations made on November 6, 2025, at 9:48 a.m. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse 6 entered Resident 58's room, applied gloves, disconnected the resident's antibiotic, and flushed his PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter-a thin tube that's inserted through a vein in your arm and passed through to the larger veins near your heart). She then removed her gloves, exited the resident's room, walked down the hall, entered the nurse's station and touched several items including a cart with a cooler and ice scoop on it, then exited the nurse's station and entered the shower room. Licensed Practical Nurse 6 did not wash her hands or use alcohol-based hand rub after removing her gloves in the resident's room or prior to touching other areas in the facility.Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 6 on November 6, 2025, at 9:56 a.m. confirmed that she should have washed her hands after removing her gloves.

CDC guidance on isolation precautions and Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use in Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MDRO's - bacteria that have become resistant to certain antibiotics, and these antibiotics can no longer be used to control or kill the bacteria), dated July 12, 2022, indicates that MDRO transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. CMS updated its infection prevention and control guidance effective April 1, 2024. The recommendations now include the use of EBP during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not apply.The facility's policy regarding EBP, dated May 14, 2025, indicated that EBP's are to be implemented for residents with an infection or colonization with a CDC targeted MDROs when contact precautions do not apply or wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with an MDRO.
