VIOLATION: INFECTION CONTROL OFFICER RESPONSIBILITIES Tag No: A0749
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to mitigate risks for spreading COVID-19 and failed to monitor compliance for wearing personal protective equipment according to facility policy resulting in the potential to spread infectious agents including COVID-19 to all 42 patients who were on the unit. Findings include:

During tour of the facility on 3/30/2021 at 0945, the facility was observed to have signage posted throughout the building stating "Everyone must wear a mask." with a picture demonstrating proper application of a mask.

During a review of video documentation relating to a complaint investigation on 1/31/2021 at 1115, Unit B was reviewed between 3/22-24/2021 at varying times to verify an allegation that staff were not wearing their face masks. The video documentation revealed the following:
-3/22/2021 0002 and 0700 All staff wearing personal protective equipment (PPE)

1000 One staff not wearing a mask
1600 Four staff not wearing a mask

In an interview with Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) Staff B on 3/31/2021 at 1342, Staff B stated it was her expectation that staff "wear a (face mask) at all times from before entrance to the building. The only exception is when eating or drinking, and then they should be in a less populated area...Staff signed an attestation to that. There is no doubt that staff are aware of the expectation...We have been doing in person audits, not camera audits. I will add camera audits to what we are currently doing...I'm sorely disappointed with what I saw on the camera this morning. Very disappointing. Very disappointing."

Facility policy # 80 titled "COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan" last revised 12/2020 states, "Facility will make appropriate PPE available for staff use based upon current standards, available and current or anticipated levels of exposure.
