Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St Elizabeth Edgewood Snf during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Infection control practices were not consistently followed for residents on Contact, Contact Plus, and Airborne precautions. An attending physician entered rooms for residents with C. diff. and COVID-19 without the required PPE, an RN touched door handles after caring for a resident with C. diff. and did not wash hands with soap and water after exiting, and a Nutrition Ambassador wore contaminated PPE in the hallway and failed to perform hand hygiene before continuing meal service. Facility policy and CDC guidance required proper PPE use and hand hygiene for these precautions.
A facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program when a staff member entered a Contact Plus Isolation room without donning PPE, despite clear signage and policy requirements. The resident involved had a history of Clostridium difficile infection, necessitating strict isolation precautions. Staff interviews confirmed the expectation to follow protocols, but the nurse admitted to forgetting to wear PPE.
Infection Control Failures With PPE and Hand Hygiene
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent and control the development and transmission of communicable diseases. Survey observations, interviews, record review, CDC guidance review, and review of facility policies showed that staff did not consistently follow required PPE and hand hygiene practices for residents on transmission-based precautions. Resident R11 was admitted with C. diff. colitis and placed on Contact Plus isolation precautions. During observation, an attending physician entered R11's room without wearing the required gown and gloves. The resident's isolation signage required staff to don a gown and gloves before entry. R11's record also showed a BIMS score of 13 out of 15, indicating cognitive intactness. Resident R40 was admitted with COVID-19 and placed on transmission-based precautions for Contact and Airborne isolation. During observation, an attending physician entered R40's room without wearing the required PPE, which the room signage identified as a gown, gloves, protective eyewear, and an N95 respirator. The physician later stated he believed he was compliant because he was not performing direct patient care. R40's record showed a BIMS score of 13 out of 15. Resident R44 was admitted with C. diff. colitis and placed on isolation precautions related to C. diff. During observation, an RN administered medication, then after doffing PPE washed her hands in the resident's bathroom, touched the bathroom and hallway door handles, and failed to wash her hands with soap and water after exiting the room. The RN stated she believed hand sanitizer was sufficient after touching the door handles. Resident R4 was admitted with diagnoses including wounds and MDRO in urine and was on Contact precautions. During observation, a Nutrition Ambassador donned a gown and gloves to deliver a meal tray, then walked several doors down the hallway wearing contaminated PPE, returned to the room, doffed PPE, failed to perform hand hygiene upon exit, and continued meal service from the nutrition cart. The Nutrition Ambassador stated she forgot to remove the contaminated PPE and should have performed hand hygiene immediately after doffing it.
Failure to Adhere to Infection Control Protocols
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by a staff member's failure to don personal protective equipment (PPE) when entering a Contact Plus Isolation room to provide care to a resident. The facility's policy required staff to wear a gown and gloves when entering such rooms beyond the designated Safe Zone, which is approximately three feet from the entry. Despite the presence of signage indicating the need for PPE and the availability of PPE outside the room, a registered nurse entered the resident's room without donning the required gown and gloves. The resident in question was admitted with a diagnosis of endocarditis and had a history of Clostridium difficile infection, necessitating continuous Contact Plus Isolation precautions. The facility's policy and the resident's care plan both emphasized the importance of using PPE to prevent the transmission of infections. Interviews with staff, including the infection preventionist and the interim director of nursing, confirmed the expectation that staff adhere to these protocols. However, the registered nurse admitted to forgetting to don PPE, highlighting a lapse in adherence to infection control measures.
