Failure to Track and Review Prophylactic Antibiotic Use: A resident with a history of UTIs and prophylactic measures was maintained on daily cephalexin for UTI prophylaxis, but the resident was not included in the facility's antibiotic use review or tracking. The DON, MD, and IP stated the resident's long-term prophylactic antibiotic therapy was not clearly reviewed with the provider or included in monthly QAPI antibiotic surveillance, despite the facility policy requiring all antibiotic regimens to be documented and monitored.

Summary
The facility failed to ensure prolonged prophylactic antibiotic use was reviewed and tracked as part of its antibiotic stewardship program for one resident. The facility policy titled, Antibiotic Stewardship - Review and Surveillance of Antibiotic Use and Outcomes, stated that antibiotic usage and outcome data would be collected and documented on a facility-approved antibiotic surveillance tracking form and that all resident antibiotic regimens would be documented on that form. Resident #9 was admitted with a history of urinary tract infections and prophylactic measures, and the care plan identified that the resident was taking an antibiotic for UTI prophylaxis and was at risk for adverse reaction, dehydration, and increased infection. The resident had an order for cephalexin 250 mg by mouth daily related to a history of UTIs and prophylactic measures. A review of the facility's Infection Control Log for the stated period showed that Resident #9 was not included in the facility's review of antibiotic use. During interviews, the DON stated the resident received a prophylactic antibiotic because of a history of UTIs and resistance to multiple antibiotics, and the MD stated the resident had remained on prophylactic antibiotic therapy for several years but she had not discussed the resident's prophylactic antibiotic use with the provider. The MD also stated she was not sure whether the resident had been reviewed for appropriate use of the prophylactic antibiotic. The IP stated that new antibiotic orders were reviewed during monthly QAPI meetings, but previously existing antibiotic orders were not, and she could not state whether Resident #9's prophylactic antibiotic therapy had been reviewed with the provider. The DON further stated that residents with prophylactic antibiotic orders were not reviewed during QAPI meetings and should have been reviewed for appropriateness and continued use.
