However, the facility is still required to obtain documentation that the required testing was completed during the timeframe that corresponds to the facility's testing frequency . Routine Testing of Staff. Routine testing should be based on the extent of [MEDICAL CONDITION] in the community, therefore facilities should use their county positivity rate in the prior week as the trigger for staff testing frequency . https://data.cms.gov/stories/s/COVID-19-Nursing-Home-Data/bkwz-xpvg .County Positivity Rate in the past week > (greater than) 10%.

During an interview with the Medical Director on 02/02/20 at 4:55 PM, the Medical Director revealed it was his expectation that everyone followed the rules and do the best job they can with testing. During an interview on 02/03/21 at 2:28 PM, the Director of Health Services/Infection Preventionist (DHS/IP) stated it was her expectation all facility staff would be compliant with the mandatory testing requirements. The DHS/IP confirmed for the month of January 2021, all facility staff should have been tested twice a week.

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to have an effective Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) to ensure staff used required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for one of five sampled residents (Resident (R) 2). This failure had the potential to increase the risk of transmission of COVID-19 within the facility. Findings include: Review of the facility's policy titled, Guidelines for COVID-19, revised 03/11/20, revealed .a. Residents in a private room with suspected COVID-19 should remain isolated .c. Ensure that PPE is readily accessible and in close proximity to the resident's room .e. Appropriate PPE should be used by healthcare personnel when interacting with the resident . Review of the facility's undated Yellow Zone PPE Quick Reference Tool, policy revealed, .GLOVES: Gloves are required; discard between each resident use or sooner if soiled or damaged. Review of the Indiana State Department of Health document titled, COVID-19 LTC Facility Infection Control Guidance Standard Operating Procedure, updated 11/22/20, revealed .Unknown COVID-19 status (yellow): All residents in this category warrant transmission based (sic) precautions (droplet and contact.) HCP (healthcare personnel) will wear single gown per resident, glove, N95 mask and eye protection (face shield/or goggles) .Waiting for test results-These are residents whose COVID-19 status is unknown. This can include residents who have been tested and are waiting on results, or residents who are admitted , or readmitted , to a facility where they are likely to have been exposed to COVID-19 (e.g., transferred from a facility with an outbreak) .Residents in this category are to remain in TBP (transmission-based precautions) for 14-days. Review of R2's undated Resident Face Sheet, located in the resident's Electronic Medical Record (EMR), under the face sheet tab, revealed R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of R2's Physician order [REDACTED]. Observation on 02/01/21 at 12:47 PM, revealed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 9 entered R2's room wearing the PPE of a mask, a face shield, and a gown; CNA9 did not don gloves prior to entering R2's room. Continued observation revealed using her ungloved, bare hands, CNA9 positioned R2's wheelchair and bedside table at the door of R2's room. CNA9 assisted R2 with the setup of her lunch meal, then doffed her gown, and then exited the room. CNA9 used an Alcohol Based Hand Rub (ABHR) to clean her hands upon leaving the room. R2's room had signage of Yellow Zone .contact/droplet precautions . and a PPE cart was stationed outside R2's room. During an interview on 02/01/21 at 12:50 PM, CNA9 verified R2's room was a Yellow Zone, room. CNA9 also verified she did not wear any gloves into R9's room. When asked her rationale for not using gloves when entering R2's room, CNA stated I did not pay attention (to the sign on the door). During an interview on 02/03/21 at 2:28 PM, the Director of Health Services/Infection Preventionist (DHS/IP) revealed it was her expectation CNA9 would have donned gloves prior to touching R2's environment. The DHS/IP revealed R2 was on a yellow zone due to potentially being exposed after a recent facility staff member tested positive for COVID-19.

Resident 6's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 9/25/18, indicated the resident had a stage 3 pressure ulcer (full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle is not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss.). Resident 6's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/3/18, indicated the resident had an unstageable pressure ulcer. During an interview, on 3/27/19 at 1:46 p.m., the MDS Coordinator indicated she probably clicked the wrong button when coding Resident 6's left heel wound, on the 9/25/18 assessment as a stage 3 pressure ulcer. 3.1-31(d)
