Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility did not maintain an infection prevention program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for the facility.
Residents Affected - Many -The facility failed to have measures to prevent the possible growth of Legionella bacteria (a bacteria which can cause a serious type of pneumonia (lung infection) called Legionnaires' disease) and other opportunistic waterborne pathogens in the building water system. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of infection from waterborne pathogens.
Findings include: Interview on 6/1/2023 at 12:41 PM with the DON, she said she was the facility's IP. The DON said the facility reviewed the IPCP monthly during the QAPI meeting, and quarterly during the QA meeting. She said the Medical Director comes to the quarterly meetings and reviews the IPCP during those meeting. The DON said she was unsure if the facility had a water management program. Interview on 6/2/2023 at 11:47 AM with the Admin, he said he had been provided documentation related to water observation plan implementation approximately nine months earlier. The Admin said he was unsure if the City monitored their water for Legionella bacterium or other waterborne illnesses. He said he planned to implement a water observation plan for the facility, but it was not done. Record review of the facility's Legionella Water Management Program policy dated July 2017 read in part .facility is committed to the prevention, detection and control of water-borne contaminants . The policy further read in part .our facility has a water management program . The policy revealed the water management program would include an IDT, a description and diagram of the water system, identification of areas which could encourage growth and spread of waterborne bacteria, identification of situations which could lead to waterborne pathogen growth, specific measures to control the introduction and/or spread of waterborne pathogens, a system to monitor control limits and the effectiveness of the control measures, and a plan relating to if the control limits were not met. The policy documented the water management program would be reviewed at least annually and when the control limits were not consistently met, a major maintenance or water system change occurred, any disease associated with the water system was discovered, and/or if any changes to laws, regulations, standards, or guidelines occurred.
