Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that all employees received mandatory training for the Infection Control program, as required by the facility's infection prevention and control policies. During a review of six staff files, it was found that one staff member did not have documentation indicating completion of the required infection control training. The Human Resources Director was unable to provide evidence that the training was completed for this staff member, despite multiple attempts to locate the records. Additionally, the Corporate Nurse confirmed that education records were not systematically maintained, making it impossible to determine if or when the training was provided.
