7773 | DAWN VIEW CENTER | 515163 | 11 DIANE DRIVE | FORT ASHBY | WV | 26719 | 2013-01-25 | 441 | E | 0 | 1 | 06UD11 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, policy review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure transmission-based precautions were in place to prevent the spread of infection from a known positive source. The facility did not post signage indicating precautions were necessary and/or the type of precautions needed. This had the high potential to affect all residents on the 200 hall, as they were cared for by the same staff members. Resident identifier: #27. Facility census 59. Findings include: a) Resident #27 Review of the medical record revealed Resident #27 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A urine culture collected on 12/21/12, was reported positive on 12/23/12 for multi-resistant [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] pneumonia. She was discharged to an acute care facility on 12/28/12 to the care of an epidemiologist. The resident was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Her admission orders [REDACTED]. The resident was in a private room. A container for gloves, gowns, and disinfectant hand cleanser was just inside her room. The door was observed open at 11:10 a.m. on 01/21/13, during a general tour of the facility. No signage was observed to inform staff and/or visitors, prior to entry, of the need for preventive precautions. The room still did not have information, related to infection control requirements, posted at 4:00 p.m. the same day. The director of nurses (DON) was interviewed at 4:00 p.m. on 01/21/13. She was asked why there were no precaution/isolation signs. The DON stated they (nursing staff) were following precautions with the resident's many dressing changes and with her care, but did not think signage was needed. A review of the facility's isolation policies for residents with MDRO's (multi-drug resistant organisms) revealed signage was required. During an interview with the administrator, at 9:00 a.m. on 01/22/13, she acknowledged signage regarding infection control precautions should have been posted immediately after the resident was admitted to the facility. | 2017-02-01 |
