Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Highbridge Woodycrest Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility was found deficient in its infection prevention and control practices due to the lack of a comprehensive, site-specific water management plan for Legionella. The existing policy did not include essential components such as a description of the water distribution system, temperature profile, personnel roles, control measures, or an environmental risk assessment. This deficiency was confirmed during a review and an interview with the Administrator.
The facility did not ensure that the designated Infection Preventionist completed the required specialized training in infection prevention and control. The Director of Nursing, acting as the Infection Preventionist, had only completed four contact hours of training, and both the Director and Administrator were unaware of the need for more extensive training, leading to a deficiency noted during the survey.
Deficiency in Legionella Water Management Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility was found to have deficiencies in its infection prevention and control practices during a recertification survey. Specifically, the facility lacked a comprehensive, site-specific water management plan for Legionella, which is crucial for preventing the spread of this bacterium through the water system. The existing policy, titled 'Legionella Water Management Program,' did not include essential components such as a description of the facility's water distribution system, a temperature profile of the water system, and specific roles and responsibilities of facility personnel. Additionally, there were no documented control measures or actions to be taken if these measures were not met, nor was there an environmental risk assessment form available for review. The absence of these critical elements in the water management plan indicates that the facility did not adequately account for the actual design and operation of its water system. This oversight was identified during a review of the facility's documentation and confirmed through an interview with the Administrator, who acknowledged the need to include all required components in the water management plan. The lack of a detailed and facility-specific plan poses a risk for the development and transmission of Legionella, highlighting a significant gap in the facility's infection prevention and control program.
Inadequate Training for Infection Preventionist
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the designated Infection Preventionist had completed the required specialized training in infection prevention and control, as mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) effective November 28, 2019. During the recertification survey conducted from July 9, 2024, through July 16, 2024, it was found that there was no documented evidence of the Infection Preventionist having completed such training. The facility's policy, reviewed on February 1, 2024, stipulated that the Infection Preventionist must have completed specialized training, such as the Infection Control Training for New York State Healthcare Professionals. Interviews conducted during the survey revealed that the Director of Nursing, who was acting as the Infection Preventionist due to the full-time Infection Preventionist being out sick for four months, had only completed four contact hours of infection control training in October 2022. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator both stated they were unaware that more than four contact hours were required for the role. This lack of awareness and documentation of specialized training led to the deficiency noted in the survey.
