Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Dietary department manager met continuing education requirements to maintain professional certification as a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM). This deficient practice had the potential to permit outdated diet therapy and/or food service sanitation and safety practices to be used in patient meal service. The facility census was 11.

Findings included:

1. Record review of the Association of Nutrition and Foodservice Professional's (the credentialing organization for CDMs) web site showed food service management professionals who complete the CDM's course work and take the examination, were then required to earn 45 hours of continuing education (CE) every three years. At least five of the continuing education hours must be in sanitation and food safety.

2. Record review of a certificate of completion dated 11/17/78 showed Staff C, Dietary department manager, completed course work and passed the examination to be a CDM.

During an interview on 05/04/15 at 1:10 PM, Staff C stated that she had never attended any continuing education to earn CE hours to maintain certification because she did not know that was a requirement.

PATIENT CARE POLICIES

Tag No.: C0278

Based on observation, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure that staff followed infection control policies and standards when they failed to:
- Perform hand hygiene (wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer) for four patients (#3, #20, #26 and #36) of four patients observed;
- Follow high-level disinfection procedures for endoscope (instrument for examination of the interior of the body) cleaning, for one of one scope cleaned, facility surgery log showed an average of 20 endoscopes cleaned per month;
- Limit immediate use steam sterilization (IUSS, formerly known as flash sterilization, a shorter dry time) for an average of six of eight eye surgeries per month;
- Maintain the cleanliness of laryngoscope blades (equipment used to insert a breathing tube in the mouth and throat) stored in one of one anesthesia cart in the Operating Room (OR).
These deficient practices had the potential to increase the risk of cross contamination and placed all patients, visitors, and staff at risk for infection. The facility census was 11.

Findings included:

1. Record review of the facility's policy titled, "Hand Washing," reviewed 01/2015, showed directives for staff to perform hand hygiene:
- Before and after giving care to a patient;
- Before and after performing invasive (entry into the body) procedures;
- After situations during which microbial (germs) contamination of hands is likely to occur, especially those involving contact with mucous membranes, blood or body fluids, secretions, or excretions; and

3. Observation, with interview immediately following, in the wound clinic on 05/05/15 at approximately 9:33 AM showed Staff S, Director of Wound Clinic, held Patient #20's leg, then removed gloves, and removed supplies from the counter. Staff S failed to perform hand hygiene after she removed her gloves. Staff S stated that she failed to perform hand hygiene immediately after she removed her gloves because the supplies she removed were clean.

4. Observation on 05/05/15 at 9:15 AM showed Staff Z, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), placed an intravenous (IV, in the vein) tube for Patient #26. Staff Z removed his gloves, touched environment of the patient, the patient's medical record and then left the patient's surgery room. Staff Z failed to perform hand hygiene after removing his gloves.

5. Observation on 05/05/15 at 1:00 PM showed Staff Z, with gloved hands wiped patient's nose, administered medication into Patient #36's IV, and assisted with patient positioning. Staff Z failed to remove gloves and perform hand hygiene after wiping patient's nose and before administering medication and assisting with patient positioning (going from tasks where contamination of hands or gloves was likely.)

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 9:15 AM, Staff Z, stated that he needed to perform hand hygiene more often.

6. Observation on 05/05/15 at 1:15 PM showed Staff AA, Surgical Technician, with gloved hands assisted with skin cleaning for Patient #36's left hand surgery. Staff AA removed her gloves after washing the patient's arm. Staff AA failed to perform hand hygiene after glove removal.

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 11:10 AM Staff AA, stated that she should have performed hand hygiene after glove removal.

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 8:30 AM Staff H, Infection Prevention (IP), stated that she expected all staff to perform hand hygiene after staff removed gloves.

7. Record review of the facility's policy titled, "Endoscope Cleaning," reviewed 01/2015, showed directives for staff to:
- Irrigate and brush the channels (hollow tube inside endoscope);
- Conduct leak testing (check for internal leaks-holes in operating channels) on flexible endoscopes prior to immersion into cleaning solution and remove endoscope from service, if it leaks; and
- Wear protective gear, i.e., gown, gloves, mask and goggles, when cleaning and disinfecting the endoscopes.

8. Observation, with immediate interview following, on 05/05/15 at 9:00 AM showed Staff X, LPN/Instrument Technician cleaning an endoscope, Staff X:
- Failed to wear protective gear.
- Failed to perform leak test on the endoscope.
- Used a disposable brush (package labeled "do not reuse") and placed the brush in the solution to re-use for the next endoscope cleaning.
- Staff X stated that she did not wear personal gear.
- She did not have to do a leak test on the scope, that a product representative had told her this. and
- She checked the package for the scope brush and stated she should not re-use it.

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 8:35 AM, Staff H, stated that Staff X should have worn protective gear when cleaning endoscopes.

9. Record review of the facility's policy titled, "Sterilization," reviewed 01/2015, showed the directive for staff to use flash sterilization only when time did not permit sterilization on a regular sterilization cycle.

10. During an interview on 05/05/15 at 8:20 AM, Staff W, Registered Nurse (RN), Surgical Supervisor, stated that staff followed American Association of periOperative Nurses (AORN) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
guidelines in the OR department.

11. Record review of AORN "periOperative Standards and Recommended Practices," 2013 showed that use of flash sterilization (IUSS; Immediate Use Steam Sterilization) should be kept to a minimum. Flash sterilization should be used only in selected situations and in a controlled manner and should not be used as a substitute for sufficient instrument inventory.

Review of the CDC Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), "Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities," 2008 showed:
-Flash sterilization is used when there is insufficient time to sterilize an item by the preferred package method.
-Flash sterilization should not be used for reasons of convenience, as an alternative to purchasing additional instrument sets, or to save time.
-It is not recommended as a routine sterilization method because of the lack of timely biological indicators (a device used to indicate that all the parameters necessary for sterilization were present) to monitor performance and the sterilization cycle parameters (time, temperature, pressure) are minimal.

12. During an interview on 05/05/15 at 3:50 PM Staff W, stated that the facility had only one eye instrument set and that the eye surgeon would bring one set for appropriate steam sterilization the night before monthly eye surgery day. She stated that after the first two cases, all other cases for the day were done with instruments that were flash sterilized. Staff W stated that the facility averages eight to 10 eye cases on each eye surgery day.

During an interview on 05/05/15 at 4:00 PM, Staff X, stated that eye instruments were flash sterilized for each consecutive eye surgery after the first two cases on each eye surgery day.

13. Record review of the 2014 sterilization and packaging guidelines by AORN showed laryngoscope blades required high level disinfection and individualized, sealed packaging to ensure continued sterility after disinfection.

14. Observation on 05/05/15 at 3:50 PM showed six laryngoscope blades in the top drawer of the anesthesia machine in OR #1. The laryngoscope blades were not in individual packaging that indicated they had been disinfected.

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 9:05 AM, Staff Z, stated that the blades needed to be in individual packages and he just hadn't gotten to it.

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 8:25 AM, Staff H, IP, stated that she did not know the policy for laryngoscope blade storage.

During an interview on 05/06/15 at 9:30 AM, Staff B, RN, Director of Nursing, stated that she was unaware that laryngoscope blades needed to be placed in individual packages after being disinfected.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to establish and maintain policy to ensure two staff (C and D) of two Dietary department staff observed wore effective hair restraint that completely covered all hair. This deficient practice had the potential to permit unrestrained hair to cross contaminate food, clean dishes, utensils, and equipment during patient meal preparation. The facility census was 11.

Findings included:

1. Record review of the "Missouri Food Code for the Food Establishments of the State of Missouri," dated 06/03/13 showed, in Chapter 2-402.11, that food employees shall wear hair coverings that covered body hair, and were worn to effectively keep hair from contact with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils.

Record review of the facility's Dietary department policy titled, "Personnel," reviewed 01/2008 showed directives for the properly attired food handler to wear hair covering; for all personnel directly involved with food production to wear a hair restraint; however, the policy failed to direct staff to wear their hair restraint to effectively cover all hair.

2. Observation on 05/04/15 at approximately 1:10 PM showed Staff C, Director of Dietary and Staff D, tray line staff, both wore hair restraint that incompletely covered their hair (uncovered hair across the forehead or also called bangs).

During an interview on 05/05/15 at 1:35 PM, Staff E, Consultant Registered Dietitian, confirmed that the Dietary department staff should cover all hair and currently Staff C and Staff D's hair restraint allowed their bangs to be uncovered.

Based on interview, record review, and policy review, facility staff failed to develop nursing care plans that addressed Swing Bed patient needs that included measurable goals, interventions, and timetables for two (#1 and #5) of two Swing Bed patients' electronic medical records (EMR) reviewed for care plans. (Swing Bed is a program with a change in reimbursement status where the patient goes from acute care services and reimbursement status to receiving skilled nursing services and reimbursement). This deficient practice had the potential to permit inappropriate or incomplete care to be provided to Swing Bed patients during their admission to the facility. The total facility census was 11. The Swing Bed census was six.

Findings included:

1. Record review of the facility's policy titled, "Nursing Documentation and Care Planning," dated 12/2010, showed the following directives for staff:
- Following assessment, the registered nurse will identify a nursing care plan, utilizing nursing diagnoses, for the patient's hospital stay. The care plan will identify the focus of nursing care for the patient, including interventions which relate to the nursing assessment of the client, and expected outcomes.
- The care plans will be kept with the nursing assessment and utilized on every shift. and
- Just as nursing care plans no longer needed should be discontinued, additional nursing care plans should be added as the client's condition changes. Interventions on existing care plans should also be updated as condition changes.
