Several F tags 441, 442, 443, 444 and 445, were cmbined int ne all cmprehensive tag, F441. Althugh the regulatins themselves were nt changed, the expansin frm eight t 32 pages nw includes definitins, educatin, explanatins and examples fr surveyrs t reference. Recently, HCCI received calls abut renewed survey scrutiny fr cmpliance with these regulatins. Surveyrs have been asking fr staff illness tracking and prf f staff educatin n infectin cntrl practices. This mnth s Clinical Capsule will review the regulatins under F441 Infectin Cntrl and lk at the Investigative Prtcl. Future nursing newsletters will cver the educatinal cmpnent f these regulatins in a frmat facilities can use fr staff educatin, an imprtant requirement f the regulatins. Regulatins fr F441 Infectin Cntrl The regulatins cver fur separate areas f cncern: infectin cntrl, infectin cntrl prgrams, preventin and linens Infectin Cntrl The facility must establish and maintain an Infectin Cntrl Prgram designed t prvide a safe, sanitary and cmfrtable envirnment and t help prevent the develpment and transmissin f disease and infectin (a) Infectin Cntrl Prgram The facility must establish an Infectin Cntrl Prgram under which it (1) Investigates, cntrls, and prevents infectins in the facility; (2) Decides what prcedures, such as islatin, shuld be applied t an individual resident; and (3) Maintains a recrd f incidents and crrective actins related t infectins (b) Preventing Spread f Infectin (1) When the Infectin Cntrl Prgram determines that a resident needs islatin t prevent the spread f infectin, the facility must islate the resident. (2) The facility must prhibit emplyees with a cmmunicable disease r infected skin lesins frm direct cntact with residents r their fd, if direct cntact will transmit the disease. (3) The facility must require staff t wash their hands after each direct resident cntact fr which hand washing is indicated by accepted prfessinal practice (c) Linens
2 Persnnel must handle, stre, prcess and transprt linens s as t prevent the spread f infectin. Intent f Regulatins Accrding t CMS, the intent f this regulatin is t assure that the facility develps, implements, and maintains an Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Prgram in rder t prevent, recgnize, and cntrl, t the extent pssible, the nset and spread f infectin within the facility. The prgram will: Perfrm surveillance and investigatin t prevent, t the extent pssible, the nset and the spread f infectin; Prevent and cntrl utbreaks and crss-cntaminatin using transmissin-based precautins in additin t standard precautins; Use recrds f infectin incidents t imprve its infectin cntrl prcesses and utcmes by taking crrective actins, as indicated; Implement hand hygiene (hand washing) practices cnsistent with accepted standards f practice, t reduce the spread f infectins and prevent crss-cntaminatin; and Prperly stre, handle, prcess, and transprt linens t minimize crss-cntaminatin. Thrughut the survey, the surveyr(s) will be bserving staff, cnducting interviews and recrding reviews t determine cmpliance. They will als review the facility s infectin cntrl plicies, prcedures and dcumentatin f staff training, as well as interview facility staff with respnsibility fr versight f the infectin preventin and cntrl prgram. Surveyr Observatins The surveyrs are instructed t bserve the fllwing facility practices and then answer the questins: D all disciplines fllw apprpriate infectin cntrl practices and transmissin-based precautin prcedures? Are linens handled, prcessed, transprted, and stred t prevent cntaminatin and the transmissin f infectin? Are emplyees wh are exhibiting signs f illness r cmmunicable disease (e.g., cld symptms, infected, pen lesins n hands), that have the ptential t transmit disease, prhibited frm cntact with the resident r the resident s fd? D staff and visitrs adhere t precautins and related prcesses, including the use f Persnal Prtective Equipment (PPE)?

Surveyr Interviews The fllwing peple will be interviewed regarding infectin cntrl practices: The resident, family r respnsible party t see if they have received educatin and infrmatin abut infectin cntrl practices, such as apprpriate hand hygiene and any special precautins applicable t the resident. Direct care staff t determine: If they knw hw t bserve fr and reprt any signs r symptms exhibited by the resident that may be assciated with an infectin; Whether they are aware which residents are n transmissin-based precautins, the specific actins required and any special precautins fr these particular residents; Whether they knw when t wash their hands and/r use alchl-based prducts, and understand the basis fr the use f glves and glve remval. Designated Infectin Cntrl Representative The regulatins state, If cncerns are identified, (e.g., practices are nt cnsistent with accepted principles f infectin cntrl r residents are exhibiting symptms f infectins, but have nt been assessed r surveillance data are nt available r being utilized) interview the facility staff members wh are respnsible fr implementing and verseeing the infectin preventin and cntrl prgram. The fllwing areas will be investigated: Des the facility identify where infectins are acquired (e.g., nursing hme, hspital, r cmmunity)? Is there, in additin t the medicatin regimen review, a review f whether antibitic use in the nursing hme is apprpriate and effective? Des staff training include critical areas f infectin cntrl such as hand hygiene, areas fr imprvement frm surveillance data, and apprpriate use f prtective equipment and islatin precautins and hw staff are apprised f changes in plicies and prcedures?

Des the facility have plicies and prcedures fr handling linens and hw it mnitrs the strage, transprt, and prcessing t prevent the spread f infectin? Des the infectin preventin and cntrl prgram identify and address infectin cntrl issues, fr example, whether the facility s infectin cntrl practices are cnsistent with CDC recmmendatins?
4 Des the facility effectively identify and prevent emplyees with a cmmunicable disease r infected skin lesins frm direct cntact with residents r their fd, if direct cntact will transmit the disease? Recrd Review The last part f the surveyr prcess will be a recrd review. The regulatins state the fllwing areas will be checked: Des the resident s recrd include: An evaluatin f the risk factrs fr infectin (e.g., indwelling urinary catheters, intravenus catheters, and trachestmy tubes); If an infectin is present, whether the resident s recrd reflects the identificatin f the infectin, ptential causes and cntributing factrs; Whether the resident s plan f care identifies interventins (device management and islatin precautin measures) t prevent the transmissin f the infectin; and Dcumentatin related t the review f the apprpriateness and effectiveness f antibitics fr residents that are identified as receiving antibitics? Is the facility identifying, recrding, and analyzing infectins and taking crrective actin? Are the facility s infectin cntrl plicies cnsistent with current prfessinal standards f practice and defined by department (e.g., dietary, nursing, laundry)?

Are there plicies addressing ccupatinal cmmunicable disease expsure and pstexpsure fllw up? D emplyee recrds shw initial and nging emplyee infectin cntrl training regarding critical elements f the infectin cntrl plan? Des the facility identify issues related t staff infectin cntrl practices, as part f its infectin preventin and cntrl prgram, and they fllw up t identify the cause, and institute measures t crrect the prblems? Mst facilities already have an infectin cntrl prgram in place. These regulatins and the investigative prtcl spell ut what that prgram shuld cntain. Facilities need t lk at what they have in place and make sure all the abve areas have been cvered. Mst facilities have all the pieces but may just need t rganize the prgram. Gather yur QA and facility dcuments t see where they all fit int yur particular prgram. Future nursing newsletters will prvide educatinal pieces fr facilities t use t meet the educatinal requirements cntained in the regulatins.
