Objectives Upon completion of this presentation, attendees should be able to:1. Outline the recent industry expectations for Infection Prevention
and Control. 2. Discuss the clinical processes affected by the industry updates.3. List three leadership strategies for successful implementation of an
Infection Prevention and Control Program.

INFECTION Prevention and Control• HAI’s (Healthcare-associated infections)” have been estimated
to account for 1.6-3.8 minion infections and 388,000 deaths annually”
• “Additionally, infections have very high costs to LTC facilities: $38 to $137 million annually for antimicrobial therapy and $673 million to $2 billion for hospitalizations”

o preventing, o identifying, o reporting, o investigating, o and controlling infections and communicable diseases for all residents, staff, volunteers,
visitors, and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement based upon the facility assessment conducted according to §483.70(e) and following accepted national standards;”

F880: Infection ControlNOTE:• Hand hygiene (HH) (e.g., hand washing and/or ABHR): consistent with
accepted standards of practice such as the use of ABHR instead of soap and water in all clinical situations except when hands are visibly soiled (e.g., blood, body fluids), or after caring for a resident with known or suspected Clostridium (C.) difficile or norovirus infection during an outbreak, or if infection rates of C. difficile infection (CDI) are high; in these circumstances, soap and water should be used”
• Addressing the provision of facemasks for residents with new respiratory symptoms

F881: Antibiotic StewardshipINTENT “The intent of this regulation is to ensure that the facility: • Develops and implements protocols to optimize the treatment of infections
by ensuring that residents who require an antibiotic, are prescribed the appropriate antibiotic;
• Reduces the risk of adverse events, including the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms, from unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use; and
• Develops, promotes, and implements a facility-wide system to monitor the use of antibiotics.”

LLegionella
The CDC indicates:“Legionnaires’ disease is a serious type of pneumonia caused by bacteria, called Legionella, that live in water. Legionella can make people sick when they inhale contaminated water from building water systems that are not adequately maintained. Unfortunately, Legionnaires’ disease is on the rise in the United States. To reverse this trend, we are asking for your help to manage the risk of exposure to Legionella from water in your building.” https://www.cdc.gov/legionella/downloads /toolkit.pdf

Vaccines - F883Influenza and pneumococcal immunizations• Influenza: The facility must develop P&P’s to ensure that
o Prior to offering the flu vaccine, the resident or representative receives education on the benefits and potential side effects of the vaccine
o Each resident, unless medically contraindicated or if already immunized, is offered the flu vaccine between 10/1 and 3/31 annually
o The resident (or representative) has the opportunity to refuse• Documentation must include the education for the resident (and/or resident
representative) on the benefits and potential side effects, if the resident received or did not and reason why not and administration

F883: Influenza and Pneumococcal ImmunizationsInfluenza Immunization “The influenza vaccine is given seasonally. The CDC indicates that administering the vaccine when it becomes available each season, rather than date specific, (i.e., “October 1”) is most effective. Facilities should administer the influenza vaccine when it becomes available to the facility. Residents admitted late in the influenza season (typically February or March) should be offered the influenza vaccine as late season outbreaks do occur.”

“NOTE: A nursing home may encounter residents who do not have adequate documentation of vaccinations. With the exception of influenza vaccine and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV), providers should only accept written, dated records as evidence of vaccination. Self-reported doses of influenza vaccine and PPSV are acceptable.”CMS: State Operations Manual, Appendix PP, Guidance to Surveyors for Long Term Care Facilities https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/som107ap_pp_guidelines_ltcf.pdf

Policy and ProceduresPOLICY: It is the policy that this facility’s Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP), is based upon information from the Facility Assessment and follows national standards and guidelines to prevent, recognize and control the onset and spread of infection whenever possible. The Infection Prevention and Control Program includes a system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections and communicable diseases for all residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement based upon the facility assessment conducted according to regulatory requirements and following accepted national standards.
