Compliance Tips Deborah Cateora

MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS MDROs: Are infectious organisms that no longer respond to most antibiotics or antiviral medications, currently available; CDC and state Health Departments are taking strong actions to reduce the transmission of drug resistant and multi-drug resistant infections organisms; Continue to be a growing issue.

MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS Efforts to reduce the transmission of MDROs include: Aggressive infection control training efforts; and Use of the MDRO transfer form. Reduction of infectious organisms non-MDROs and MDROs include: Hand Hygiene; Respiratory Hygiene; and Appropriate use of Standard and Contact Precautions.

MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS More training will be available for caregivers in all settings in October or November Effective January 1, 2014 a new law requires certain facilities to fill out and/or provide a MDRO transfer form to another facility when an individual with a confirmed or suspected MDRO is being transferred to another facility.

MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS Currently, ALFs/RCFs are not mandated to create a form but if they receive a MDRO transfer form here is what needs to be done: Assure all appropriate standard precautions are implemented at all times; Keep the MDRO transfer form with the resident’s record; Provide a copy to any emergency personnel (i.e. paramedics etc.) when treating and/or transporting the resident from their home;

MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS Provide a copy to the facility when a resident is being transferred to the hospital, emergency room, ambulatory surgical center, nursing facility or another licensed or certified care setting; and Notify the local health department within one working day of the date of transfer. Example of MDRO transfer forms can be found at: ommunicableDisease/HAI/Prevention/Pages/Interfacili ty-Communication.aspx. ommunicableDisease/HAI/Prevention/Pages/Interfacili ty-Communication.aspx

RN DELEGATION RN Delegation (Division 47) has specific requirements regarding actions and documentation. Current issues that we see are: Only indicating the resident is “Stable and Predictable”: This is a statement only and is not the documentation that supports the statement. Forms that have a check box still have to have supporting data recorded in the residents’ record.

RN DELEGATION Step-by-step instructions are not unique to the individual resident: There must be resident specific information regarding how the caregiver is to perform the task. Step-by-step instructions kept in a central location: The step-by-step instructions are resident specific and should be kept with the MAR for that resident. Not watching each caregiver perform the task both on the initial and subsequent re-evaluations: Must be performed at the frequency ordered.

RN DELEGATION RN not reviewing the MAR routinely for medications or treatments specific to the delegated task; Incoming RN not following the transfer of delegation as outlined in Division 45: The only potential time saver if, after reviewing the step-by- step instructions, the incoming RN deems sufficient. Caregivers continue to perform delegated tasks even after the RN has left or quit and the task has not been re-delegated; Sliding scale information is not addressed adequately;

RN DELEGATION RN not leaving sufficient instructions on when to contact the delegating RN immediately; and Not specifying when the re-evaulation will be completed. In 90 days or 180 days etc. is not sufficient must at minimum indicate the week of or an actual date.
