Learning Objectives Discuss the infection control policies and proceduresrequired by CMS Explain how CMS is using the revised infection controlworksheet including why it is so important for staff toknow how to utilize it Discuss why CMS requires that the national standards ofcare and practice must be followed such as those fromthe CDC, SHEA, APIC, OSHA, and AORN, List the CMS required infection control officer’sresponsibilities in measuring, identifying, preventing andcontrolling infection3
Infection Control The CDC says there are 1.7 million healthcareinfection (HAI) in America every year There are 99,000 to 100,000 deaths in Americanhospitals every year CMS gets 50 million dollar grant to enforce infectioncontrol standards in 2010 and 2011 and HHS a billiondollars in 2013 so surveyors are more knowledgeable Leadership need to make sure there is adequatestaffing and resources to prevent and manageinfections Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are one of the topten leading causes of death in the US1 www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/hai.html/ 404
The Conditions of Participation (CoPs) Regulations first published in 1986 Revised many times since with IC changes, safeinjection practices, insulin pens, humidity in the ORetc. Manual updated August 30, 2013 and 457 pages First regulations are published in the FederalRegister then CMS publishes the InterpretiveGuidelines and some have survey procedures2 Hospitals should check this website once a monthfor s.gov/SurveyCertificationGenInfo/PMSR/list.asp5
The Conditions of Participation Good way to keep up is sign up for the FederalRegister 1 Hospitals should check the survey andcertification website once a month for changes 2 Another good place to check monthly is thetransmittal website 3 Have one person assigned to check these once amonth1 www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html2 st.asp3 www.cms.gov/Transmittals/01 overview.asp6

CMS Updates to Manual18
Log of Incidents 750 Deleted 2013 Must maintain a log related to infections andcommunicable diseases CMS deleted the log requirement but not for CAH hospitals Log requirements use to require the following; Includes information from patients Includes employees, contract staff such asagency nurses, and volunteers Includes surgical site infections, patients or staffwith MDRO, patients who meet isolationrequirements/ 4019
Infection Control Officer 748 2013 Hospital infection control officers are often referredto as hospital epidemiologists (HEs), infectioncontrol professionals (ICPs) or IP APIC calls them Infection Preventionist or IP andJune 7, 2013 CMS added IP to tag 748 CDC has defined “infection control professional” as “aperson whose primary training is in either nursing,medical technology, microbiology, or epidemiologyand who has acquired specialized training in infectioncontrol” The hospital must designate in writing an individual asits infection control officer/ 4020
IPs Responsibilities 7492013 Mitigate risks associated with Patient infections present upon admission Risks contributing to HAI Conduct active surveillance (revised June 2013) Includes patients, staff, volunteers, and contractworkers Must identify and track infectious and communicablediseases Including HAI selected by IC program bases ontargeted surveillance based on nationally recognizedguidelines and periodic risk assessment/ 4021
IC Officer’s Responsibilities 749 2013 Active surveillance (continued) Culture or patient colonized with MDRO Isolation patients Patients or staff with reportable communicable diseases Staff or patients with signs and symptoms in which local,state, or feds request Staff or patients infected with significant pathogens Recommend use of automated surveillance technology Monitoring compliance with all P&Ps, protocols andother infection control program requirements22

CMS Infection Control StandardsWhat Hospitals Need to Know.Hospitals Need to Know About theInfection Control InterpretiveGuidelines
Infection Control There are 12 pages in the interpretive guidelines oninfection control Updated to reflect changing infectious andcommunicable disease threats Includes current knowledge and best practices Must follow national standards of care and practice CMS announces unannounced surveys related toinfection control in 2014/ 4025
Infection Control Included four major sections Active infection control program Investigations and control of infections Infection control log (no longer mandatory somake sure P&P changed) CEO, CNO, and MS must ensure hospital-widetraining program and correction plan for problemareas Note that CMS has announced infection controlinspections of hospitals so need to do this right/ 4026
CMS Infection Control Sample Page/ 4027
HHS Action Plan Estimated that HAIs incur nearly 20 billion in excesshealthcare cost each year Many are preventable Top priority of HHS now Develop HHS Action Plan to Prevent HAIs Every infection preventionist (IP) should have a copy ofthis document HHS get a billion dollars to enforce IC and has a videoevery healthcare practitioner should see Partnering to heal video at /ophs/initiatives/hai/index.html/ 4028
The Cost of Healthcare Associated Infectionswww.cdc.gov/HAI/burden.html29
Watch the Video on Preventing HAIwww.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/training/30
Infection Control Follow the Money! This area is very important now Now if you do not do this right it could cost thehospital money CMS has hospital acquired conditions (HAC) inwhich no additional payment is made for Medicarepatients and CMS will do this for Medicaid patients Many states agree not to bill for some or all of the29 never events or serious reportable events (revisedlist in 2011) Insurance companies are putting it into their contractsthat hospitals will not bill for any of the never events/ 4031
CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions CMS has no additional payment for these HACs ornever events Studies show hugh cost to hospitals Vascular catheter-associated infection Surgical site infection such as mediastinitis aftercoronary artery bypass graft surgery Catheter-associated urinary tract infections Surgical-site infections following certain orthopedicprocedures (repair, replacement or fusion of joints)/ 4032
CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions ePayment/HospitalAcqCond/HospitalAcquired Conditions.html33
CMS Hospital CoP Definition of Infection The guidelines include a definition of infectiousdisease, infectious agent, and communicablediseases Hospitals may want to include these definitions intheir revised policies and procedures Definitions developed by the National Institute ofAllergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Communicable disease is defined as a diseaseassociated with an agent that can be transmittedfrom one host to another/ 4034
Definition of Infection Infectious disease is defined as a change from astate of health to a state in which part or all of ahost’s body cannot function normally because of thepresence of an infectious agent or its product. An infectious agent is defined as a living or quasiliving organism or particle that causes an infectiousdisease, and includes bacteria, viruses, fungi,protozoa, helminths (parasitic worms), and prions. Note that APIC now calls them infectionpreventionist or IPs CMS in 2013 now call them infection preventionist/ 4035
Infection Control (IC) Hospital must have sanitary environment to avoidsources and transmission of infection andcommunicable diseases Maintain an active IC program for prevention,control, and investigation of infections andcommunicable diseases Standards apply to all departments of hospitalsboth on and off campus All areas must be clean and sanitary No dried blood on the floor, side of stretchers or on theceiling tile/ 36
Infection Control Infection prevention must include monitoringof housekeeping (Environmental Services)and maintenance including constructionactivities Areas to monitor include food storagepreparation, serving and dish rooms,refrigerators, ice machines, air handlers,autoclave rooms, venting systems, inpatientrooms, treatment areas, labs, waste handling,surgical areas, supply storage and equipmentcleaning/ 4037
Infection Control (IC) A-0747 Include all standards of care and practice State and federal laws Look at national organization recommendations APIC (Association for Professionals in Infection Controland Epidemiology), CDC (Center for Disease Control),SHEA (Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America),OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Administration),AORN, IDSA, etc. Investigate infections and communicable diseasesfor inpatients and personnel working in hospitalsincluding volunteers/ 40
APIC’s Targeting Zero Campaign Targeting zero is the philosophy that every hospitalshould be working toward a goal of zero HAIs While not all HAIs are preventable, APIC believes weshould strive for the goal of elimination and strive forzero infections Association for Professionals in Infection Control andEpidemiology (APIC) put together many resources tohelp hospitals to start to meet this goal Prompt investigation of HAIs of greatest concern to thehospital (like MRSA, C-Diff, surgical site infections,catheter associated UTIs) Needed because of our declining arsenal of antibioticsto treat infections39
Infection Control Maintain active surveillance program So what’s in your IC plan and IC program? Specific measures for infection detection, datacollection, analysis monitoring, and evaluationsof preventive interventions Document surveillance activities Must have reliable sampling or other mechanism inplace to identify and monitor infections andcommunicable diseases/ 40
41
Infection Control Infection control must be integrated in PI Surveillance activities should be conducted inaccordance with recognized surveillance practices CDC NHSN (National Healthcare Safety Net) NHSN is internet-based surveillance system managed by theCDC Hospitals now using to report ICU and NICU central lineinfections and selected reporting of CAUTIs Available for hospitals at no charge and great resource Provides multiple options for data analysis and moreflexibility for sharing information within and outside the facility/ 4042
Infection Control NHSN replaces the CDCs National NosocomialInfection Surveillance system (NNIS) Was considered the gold standard for tracking HAI formore than 30 years Designed to help hospitals better manage episodes ofHAI such as MRSA and VRE Used by the VA hospitals Hospitals report central line infections in ICUs and NICUs Enroll on-line for HAI surveillance and many n.html/ 4043

4 Challenges in Infection Control CMS said there are four special challenges ininfection control (just four?) Challenge 1: Multidrug-ResistantOrganisms Challenge 2: Infection Control inAmbulatory Care Challenge 3: Communicable DiseaseOutbreaks Challenge 4: Bioterrorism/ 4048
Multidrug-Resistant Organisms Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) areresistant to one or more antimicrobial agents Treatment is more difficult These bad bugs are more dangerous Have systems in place to identify and preventtransmission of these organisms. The CDC has a special publication on“Management of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms inHealthcare Settings, oGuideline2006.pdf/ 4049

CMS WorksheetsInfection Control
CMS Hospital Worksheets Third Revision October 14, 2011 CMS issues a 137 page memo in thesurvey and certification section Memo discusses surveyor worksheets for hospitals byCMS during a hospital survey Addresses discharge planning, infection control, andQAPI It was pilot tested in hospitals in 11 states and on May18, 2012 CMS published a second revised edition Piloted test each of the 3 in every state over summer 2012 November 9, 2012 CMS issued the third revisedworksheet which is now 88 pages95
CMS Hospital Worksheets Will select hospitals in each state and will completeall 3 worksheets at each hospital From 1-9 hospitals in every state with more in states withlarger numbers and will select hospitals with higher thanaverage readmissions for all causes This is the third and most likely final pilot and in2013 will use whenever a validation survey is doneat a hospital by CMS Third pilot is non-punitive and will not require actionplans unless immediate jeopardy is found Hospitals should be familiar with the three worksheets96
Third Revised MSR/list.asp#TopOfPage97
CMS Hospital Worksheets Goal is to reduce hospital acquired conditions(HACs) including healthcare associated infections Goal to prevent unnecessary readmission andcurrently 1 out of every 5 Medicare patients isreadmitted within 30 days Many hospitals (66%) financially penalized afterOctober 1, 2012 because they had a higher thanaverage rate of readmissions and same in 2013 Forfeited 280 million dollars and 2013 is 228 million The underlying CoPs on which the worksheet isbased did not change98
CMS Hospital Worksheets However, some of the questions asked might not beapparent from a reading of the CoPs A worksheet is a good communication device It will help clearly communicate to hospitals what isgoing to be asked in these 3 important areas Hospitals might want to consider putting together ateam to review the 3 worksheets and complete theform in advance as a self assessment Hospitals should consider attaching thedocumentation and P&P to the worksheet99
