Summary

The facility failed to ensure that the Infection Preventionist (IP) completed the required ten hours of continuing education in infection prevention and control for the year 2024. During an interview, the IP was unable to provide documentation of having completed the necessary education hours for that year. The IP acknowledged that while he had completed continuing education hours for his nursing license renewal, those hours were not obtained in 2024 and did not specifically pertain to infection prevention and control. The IP also stated it was his responsibility to complete the annual education to stay current with new guidelines and practices. Further interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the IP was responsible for educating staff on current infection prevention and control practices and that staying up to date with training was essential for this role. The DON stated that failure to complete the required annual training could result in the IP missing critical updates, which could affect the consistency of infection prevention measures. A review of the California Department of Public Health All Facilities Letter indicated that the IP should complete ten hours of continuing education in infection prevention and control annually.
