10217 ABBEVILLE HEALTHCARE & REHAB 115623 206 MAIN STREET EAST ABBEVILLE GA 31001 2010-04-08 441 D 0 1 OHLM11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assure that one of four newly hired employees were free of communicable disease before allowing direct contact with residents or that one of two CNAs observed practiced proper hand hygiene after bowel incontinence care. Findings include: The facility's policy to "New Employee Screening" documented that the employee health coordinator (or designee) would accept documented verification of two-step TST ([MEDICATION NAME] skin test)or BAMT (blood assay for [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]) results within the preceding 12 months. 1. A review of 14 employees' personnel records revealed that one certified nursing assistant was hired by the facility on 1/13/10. However, there was no evidence that the facility had performed a [MEDICATION NAME] screening test (PPD) and received the results prior to her having had direct contact with residents. The most recent PPD result documented for the resident was dated 7/1/09. However, there was no evidence that the facility had verified that it had been a two-step TST within those preceding 12 months. 2. After completion of bowel incontinence care for resident #6 on 4/6/10 at 4 p.m., it was observed that CNA "AA" failed to remove her soiled gloves. The CNA did not remove or change his/her gloves or wash his/her hands prior to redressing the resident and positioning him/her in a geri-chair. 2014-12-01
