10 Report - Key Points The beginning of the 20 th century, 9 our of every 1,000 women who gave birth died - 40% from Sepsis In some cities - up to 30% children died prior to their 1 st birthday 1 out of 9 people who contracted a serious skin infection died (even scrapes and insect bites!) 30% of people with pneumonia died 70% of people with meningitis died Etc., etc. 28 Report What happened in the 20 th century? Improvements in public health Vaccines Antibiotics **Deaths from infections declined **Millions of lives saved primarily due to antibiotics! 29 Report We are losing progress!!! Antibiotic Resistance is now occurring at an alarming rate and is outpacing the development of new countermeasures capable of thwarting infections in humans 30 10
11 Report National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic- Resistant Bacteria (March 2015): combating_antibotic-resistant_bacteria.pdf 31 Report The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that drugresistant bacteria cause two million illnesses and approximately 23,000 deaths each year in the United States alone 32 Report Resistance is due largely to extensive exposure of bacteria to antibiotics. One of the recommendations for LTC includes Stewardship programs by the end of 2017, CMS should have Federal regulations (Conditions of Participation) in place that will require LTC facilities to develop and implement robust antibiotic stewardship programs that adhere to best practices
12 CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 34 MDRO s 35 CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Still Current!
13 CDC These six bacteria are among the most deadly antibioticresistant bacteria, identified as urgent or serious threats by CDC : CRE (carbapenem-resistant Entrobacteriaceae) MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (extendedspectrum ß-lactamases VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococci) Multi-Drug resistant pseudomonas Multi-Drug resistant Acinetobacter 37 (CRE) Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Often found in GI tract Can be resistant to all or most antibiotics limiting treatment options Colonization can cause infection if the organism gains entrance to areas such as lungs, bladder or bloodstream CRE Toolkit (CDC): Some facilities might chose to not place some non CP-CRE that remain susceptible to other antimicrobials on Contact Precautions. All patients with CP-CRE should be placed on Contact Precautions. (CRE toolkit) 38 Balancing Act! Quality, Protection, Safe Care & Resident Need 39 13
14 CDC - Management of MDRO s in HC Settings Use of Contact Precautions: In LTCFs, consider the individual patient s clinical situation and prevalence or incidence of MDRO in the facility when deciding whether to implement or modify Contact Precautions in addition to Standard Precautions for a patient infected or colonized with a target MDRO CDC - Management of MDRO s in HC Settings Enhanced Infection Control Precautions In LTCFs, modify Contact Precautions to allow MDRO colonized/infected patients whose site of colonization or infection can be appropriately contained and who can observe good hand hygiene practices to enter common areas and participate in group activities 41 CRE Toolkit
15 CRE Toolkit - CDC CRE are Enterobacteriaceae that are nonsusceptible (i.e., intermediate or resistant) to a carbapenem Some CRE possess a carbapenemase (carbapenemase-producing CRE or CP-CRE) that directly breaks down carbapenems CP-CRE were first identified in the United States from an isolate collected in 1996 and have disseminated widely since that time. Much of the increase in CRE since 2000 has been due to the spread of CRE that produce the carbapenemase Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC) 43 CRE Toolkit - CDC Acute Care Hospitals and High-Acuity Post- Acute Care Settings Acute care hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, and ventilator units of skilled nursing facilities should generally place patients who are colonized or infected with CRE on Contact Precautions. Some facilities might chose to not place some non CP- CRE that remain susceptible to other antimicrobials on Contact Precautions. All patients with CP-CRE should be placed on Contact Precautions CRE Toolkit - CDC Lower-acuity Post-acute Care Settings: The use of Contact Precautions is more challenging Guide by the potential risk based on functional and clinical status and type of care activity performed Ventilator dependent Incontinent Draining wounds that are uncontrolled, etc. For all other residents, the gowns and gloves should be based on the care provided and potential risk of exposure to fluids or secretions/contamination i.e. bathing, toileting or incontinence assistance, wound care, devices, etc
16 CRE Toolkit - CDC Residents with CRE at lower risk for transmission do not need to be restricted from common gatherings in the facility (e.g., meals, group activities) Clostridium Difficile-HUGE CONCERN!!! CDC has developed a Toolkit s/cdi-primer pdf AHRQ: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of C. difficile: Current State of the Evidence May 30, hrq.gov/search-for-guidesreviews-andreports/?pageaction=displayprod uct&productid=2476&utm_sourc e=ahrq&utm_medium=en5&utm_ term=&utm_content=5&utm_cam paign=ahrq_en5_23_ Still Current - CDC
17 Guideline for Isolation Precautions Residents who are colonized or infected with certain microorganisms are, in some cases, restricted to their room. However, because of the psychosocial risks associated with such restriction, it has been recommended that psychosocial needs be balanced with infection control needs in the LTCF setting 49 Final Rule - F (a)(2)(iv)When and how isolation should be used for a resident; including but not limited to: (A) The type and duration of the isolation, depending upon the infectious agent or organism involved, and (B) A requirement that the isolation should be the least restrictive possible for the resident under the circumstances Guidance/Guidance/Transmittals/2017Downloads/R168SOMA.pdf 50 KEY POINT!

22 Leadership Strategies Policies and Procedures Up to Date! Evidenced-based, Standards of Practice 64 Policy and Procedure Will need written standards, P&P s to include Surveillance Reporting Standard and transmission based precautions Isolation When to prohibit employees with communicable diseases or infected skin lesions may work Hand Hygiene 65 Leadership Strategies Infection Preventionist 66 22
23 Infection Preventionist Responsibilities may include: Surveillance, collecting, analyzing, and providing infection data and trends to nursing staff and healthcare practitioners; Mapping infections Consulting with staff on infection risk assessment, prevention, and control strategies with adequate documentation; Providing education and training; and Implementing evidence based infection control practices including those mandated by regulatory and licensing agencies. 67 Communicable disease reporting oversight Mapping Infections Make sure you are mapping your infections in the building! 68 Leadership Strategies A solid, ongoing Surveillance Process! 69 23
24 2 types of Surveillance Process Outcome 70 Process Surveillance PROCESS SURVEILLANCE: Identifies your process is the process consistent with policies and guidelines? Audit - (hand washing, environmental rounds) Do your policies work? 71 Examples of Process Surveillance Hand Hygiene Audits PPE Audits Cleaning and disinfecting reusable equipment Observation of compliance with transmission-based precautions Etc
25 Outcome Surveillance Outcome Surveillance: Identifies and reports evidence of an infectious disease The outcome surveillance process: Data collection Documentation of data Analysis (comparing to criteria and definitions i.e. McGeer criteria) Data Analysis 73 Leadership Strategies Comprehensive Documentation! 74 Documentation and Data Documentation Criteria for Infection and definitions ONGOING, real-time surveillance 75 25
26 Use of Tracking Tools Identification of all infections in the facility Detection of types of infections and location in the facility. (Use McGreer Criteria) Determination of prevalence of infections Determine trends Information will assist the facility in the development of an effective Action Plan 76 Leadership Strategies Ensure Adequate Monitoring! 77 Monitoring Monitoring for actual infections based on criteria Facility practice/process Infection risks Symptom monitoring 78 26
27 Monitoring for S/Sx Infection Are staff trained on criteria and signs and symptoms of infection? What is your assessment process for staff to identify even subtle changes? Are there systems for monitoring and reporting of s/sx of infection - even on off-hours and weekends? 79 Leadership Strategies A Solid System for Data Analysis 80 Data Collection Data is collected from: Communication with staff both verbal and written Daily rounds-24 hour report review Review of MD progress notes Lab/X-ray results Treatment records New antibiotics? Nurse notes Information from hospital transfers 81 27
28 Data Analysis Current versus past infection control surveillance data Review and comparison of the reported incidence of infections including type and location (Map infections!) Reviewing and addressing data with objective data and identified plan quarterly for Quality Assurance Committee 82 Infection Rates Calculated monthly, quarterly, & annuallyfacility will develop a process for review and reporting Health facility acquired infections (HAIs) will be the infections calculated Recommend: Calculate infections per 1000 resident days A report form utilizing facility specific information can be utilized - there are multiple computer programs available to develop graphs for reporting and education 83 Leadership Strategies Communicable Disease Reporting 84 28
29 Communicable Disease Reporting The facility will want to have a Policy and Procedure that complies with all state requirements for the reporting of communicable disease The Infection Preventionist or designee will be responsible to report in accordance with Law Will need to report according to State Requirements 85 Florida Communicable Disease Reporting 86 Leadership Strategies Accessing Resources and Best Practices 87 29

32 IDT Involvement Infection Prevention and Control is NOT just a nursing department program! ALL staff need to be involved in training, implementation, oversight and compliance of infection prevention and control policies and procedures 94 Surveillance Oversight Review Process Surveillance Audits Hand Hygiene, Dressing Changes audits How are results handled? Review 24 hour Reports for residents with signs/symptoms of infections Are the Policies and Procedures followed? Review Lab reports-antibiotic consistent with results from C&S report? Check the infection mapping at least weekly - is it up to date and accurate? What follow-up is done with the information? 95 Surveillance Oversight Are all logs and reports up-to-date and analyzed on a real time basis to determine clusters, trends or potential outbreaks? Do you have current logs for employees who report illness? Is there a plan based on analysis of infection control data to include correction actions, education or other strategies? 96 32
33 Audits Hand Hygiene Audits Food Preparation Audits Personal Protective Equipment Audits Water Pass Audits Med Pass Audits Catheter Care Audits Peri-Care Audits Room Sanitization Audits Environmental Audits Dining Room Audits Linen Handling Audits 97 Audit Example 98 Well-trained and dedicated employees are the only sustainable source of competitive strength. - Robert Reich 99 33
