Interview and observation of the Laundry Department revealed a lack of knowledge of appropriate infection control practice. Personal Laundry was not being sanitized. The findings included: On 8/17/10 a review of the facility laundry system was completed. It was revealed that only personal laundry was processed within the facility. On 8/17/10 an interview with Laundry staff member # 2, who stated s/he was the primary person responsible for personal laundry was conducted. S/he stated that personal laundry was processed using cold water. Laundry worker # 2 stated that if a resident was on isolation, s/he would use hot water. However, s/he was unaware of the water temperatures available for use within the laundry. When asked if any bleach/sanitizing type product was used for processing personal laundry, s/he stated "no". S/he also stated s/he processed the cloth napkins used by residents using hot water (unknown temperature) and no bleach. A follow-up interview with the Laundry supervisor confirmed the process used. At 12 noon, a written statement was given the surveyor stating the water temperature was not 160 degrees. On 8/18/10 at 11AM, a meeting was conducted with the Administrator at his/her request and representatives from the Laundry Supply Company responsible for processing other linens used by the facility and processed at the hospital; hospital/facility laundry representatives, facility engineers, Maintenance, and the survey team. During the meeting it was stated that the Administrator was not aware until August 2010 of the changes in the regulation. Due a personal concern, s/he had sent the information to the Director of Nursing who then sent the information to the person in charge of the laundry. However, no action had been taken until the concern was identified by the survey team.	2014-06-01
