SUMMARY:Ready for Enhanced Barrier Precautions? Let Live Data Analytics Guide You
DESCRIPTION:Multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission in long-term care facilities is currently shown to contribute significantly to resident morbidity\, mortality\, and increased healthcare costs for patients either with colonization or at risk of MDROs. After two years of recommendations from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)\, they have officially issued the memorandum\, Ref: QSO-24-08-NH\, which solidifies new guidance and sets standards for state survey agencies and long-term care (LTC) facilities on the use of Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP). Effective as of April 1\, 2024\, the new guidance is officially part of F880 Infection Prevention & Control and will be evaluated by state surveyors as it relates to CDC-targeted MDROs. Additionally\, CMS has provided the Guidance to CMS 20054 Infection Prevention\, Control & Immunizations\, indicating staff interviews to determine if they are aware of which residents require the use of EBP prior to providing high-contact care activities. \nThis session will break down the new guidance on the use of EBPs and discuss policies and procedures facilities can implement\, that include education to facility staff\, residents\, and families. We will explore how care teams can leverage the data already found in their resident EHRs to help identify when EBPs are needed – with existing residents and new admissions alike. We will also discuss how the use of post-acute data-driven analytics can ease regulatory burden by strengthening Infection Prevention and Control programs and reducing the development of MDROs. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand CMS’ new Enhanced Barrier Precautions guidelines\nDevelop\, implement\, and monitor EBP policies and procedures in your facility\nUtilize live data analytics to assist in proper EBP implementation and to ease regulatory burden\n\nSpeaker:\n\nCheryl Scalzo\, RN\, Clinical Account Specialist\, Real Time Medical Systems\n\nThis live webinar is hosted by PADONA.
