Lack of Documented Infection Control Training for Two CNAs
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to provide mandatory infection control training as part of their infection prevention and control program for two certified nursing assistants out of eight employee records reviewed. During an extended survey, a sample of eight employees was selected, and the facility administrator was asked to provide evidence of infection control training for these staff members. Upon review of the employee records, it was found that there was no credible evidence that the two certified nursing assistants had received the required infection control training. This finding was confirmed with the facility administrator, director of nursing, and corporate staff, who were unable to locate documentation of the training for these employees. No additional information or documentation was provided by the facility prior to the exit conference.
