     SURVEY ACTIVITY

     • Focused Infection Control (FIC) Surveys
     • Onsite FIC surveys
         – 3 or more new confirmed cases since last NHSN COVID-19 report OR
         – 1 confirmed resident case in facility that was previously COVID-free AND
         – Other factors that may place resident’s health and safety at risk these factors
           include:

15

     WHAT FACTORS?
     • Multiple weeks with new COVID-19 cases;
     • Low staffing;
     • Selection as a Special Focus Facility per Section 1819(f)(8)(B) of the Social Security
       Act ;
     • Concerns related to conducting outbreak testing per CMS requirements; or
     • Allegations or complaints which pose a risk for harm or Immediate Jeopardy to the
       health or safety of residents which are related to certain areas, such a abuse or quality
       of care (e.g., pressure ulcers, weight loss, depression, decline in functioning).
       CMS will work with State Survey Agencies to identify facilities that meet above
                                        criteria
                       FIC Survey must start within 3-5 days of identification

16

                                                                                                          8
QIPMO DON/ADMIN SUPPORT GROUP - TOPICS FOR TODAY - Nursing Home Help

     REPEAT SURVEYS
     • Facilities that meet the criteria above to trigger an FIC survey do not need to
       be re-surveyed if a FIC survey was conducted (as a stand-alone FIC survey or
       as part of a recertification survey) within the previous three weeks. For
       example, if a facility is surveyed with a FIC survey within 3-5 days after
       meeting the criteria, and the same facility meets the criteria for being surveyed
       within 3-5 days in any of the next three weeks, the survey team does not need to
       conduct another survey within those three weeks. However, if the facility meets
       the criteria for a survey in the fourth week after a FIC survey was conducted,
       an additional FIC survey must be conducted within 3-5 days.

17

     FIC SURVEYS

     • Starting in FY 2021, perform annual Focused Infection Control surveys of 20 percent of nursing
       homes based on State discretion or additional data that identifies facility and community risks.
       To count toward the required 20 percent, these FIC surveys must be stand-alone surveys not
       associated with a recertification survey. Additionally, FIC surveys conducted in FY 2021,
       triggered by meeting the criteria in #2 above, may count toward meeting the State’s 20 percent
       requirement.
     • States that fail to perform these survey activities timely and completely could forfeit up to 5% of their
       CARES Act Allocation, annually.
     NOTE: When conducting FIC surveys, long-term care (LTC) facility surveyors should be alert to,
     and investigate any concerns related to residents who have had a significant decline in their
     condition (e.g., weight loss, mobility) during the PHE.

18

                                                                                                                          9

     FAQ ON RESUMPTION OF SURVEY
     ACTIVITIES
     CMS has received questions from stakeholders as well as Federal and State
     Surveyors related to the resumption of survey activities. We have attached FAQs
     addressing questions on:
     • LTC facility Health surveys,
     • Emergency Preparedness surveys and
     • Life Safety Code surveys (for all provider types),
     • Guide to Waived F-Tags and K-Tags for clarification.

19

     FAQ HIGHLIGHTS
        Survey agencies should supply surveyors with proper PPE.
        Medicare and Medicaid certified facilities must allow surveyors to enter.
        Surveyors must wear appropriate PPE and adhere to both COVID infection prevention practices and
         facility screening protocols.
        Surveyors are not required to be tested.
        COVID suspected or confirmed residents should be included in sample selection.
        One surveyor should be assigned to work with COVID-19 positive residents only, when possible.
        Surveyors should not move between COVID positive, suspected positive, and non-COVID areas within
         the facility.
        Entrance activities and observations/interviews/record reviews should be done onsite and not by phone.
        Tasks related to the resident council interview and dining may be modified if the facility is experiencing
         an outbreak in order to limit the spread of the virus.
        The exit conference may be conducted by phone if all parties agree (facility, ombudsman, officer of the
         resident council).

     POST-COVID GI BLEED
     “…critically ill patients were more likely to manifest digestive symptoms in
     comparison with non-severe patients …even in the absence of respiratory
     symptoms.…In this case, the clinical status of this patient deteriorated even
     after respiratory condition continued to improve. Hence, the cause of the
     patient’s death was considered to be strongly correlated with hemorrhagic
     shock owing to acute massive GIB rather than ongoing pneumonia. “

     INFECTION CONTROL WAKE-UP CALL!
                           SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been found in stool specimens and may
                           remain positive longer even after the clearance of the virus in the
                           respiratory tract.

         This means better HANDWASHING!

     POST-COVID GI BLEEDS—THE WHY
     WHY??
     So far seems to be about 50/50…
     50% happening from intubation, feeding tubes, rectal tubes during the hospital stays
     50% unknown, hx of GI bleed
     What does that mean for YOU?

     *Get DETAILS from the hospital stay…so you know where to look for problems
     • Were they intubated?
     • Were they given parenteral feeding or NG tube?
     • Did they have a rectal tube placed?
     • Were they given anticoagulation meds? What kind? For how long?

     OSHA AND LIABILITY

     • OSHA- There is discussion of course where employers
       are to provide a workplace that is “free from recognized
       hazards” that could cause serious harm or death to
       employees. Question is with COVID whether providing
       vaccine provides that place.
     • With a mandate as employer will you be minimizing
       potential liability by issuing that mandate, while ensuring
       CDC guidelines and safety protocols are being followed.

     • Advice is to seek your legal council before making this
       decision.

                                          THE COVID 19 VACCINE
     • mRNA Vaccines:
     • Contain material from the virus that causes COVID-19
     • Do NOT contain inactivated or weakened virus
     • This material gives our cells instructions for how to make a harmless protein that is unique to the virus. This protein cannot
       build a virus or cause infection.
     • Our cells make copies of this protein, then destroy the genetic material from the vaccine
     • Our bodies recognize that these proteins should not be there, and build antibodies that will remember how to fight the virus
       that causes COVID-19 if we are infected in the future
     • Can these new technologies give me COVID-19? No
     • Can these new technologies change my DNA? No

                                    • An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a vaccine is based on the need
                                      to use a vaccine quickly to save lives during a public health emergency.
                                    • EUA is a shorter process but no steps are skipped in the safety evaluation
     WHAT IS AN                       process.

     EUA AND                        • The FDA will assess if the vaccine's known and potential benefits outweigh
                                      the known and potential risks.
     WHAT DOES                      • Both advisory boards (VRBPAC and ACIP) will also review all the data and
                                      make recommendations
     THAT MEAN                      • An EUA does NOT imply that the authorization was done too quickly or that
     FOR ME?                          the vaccine is not safe
                                    • Major reasons the vaccines were developed more quickly than usual:
                                         – Global effort with the world’s leading scientists focused on a single task
                                         – Nearly unlimited resources (money, knowledge, manpower, technology)
                                         – A large pool of diverse adult volunteer trial participants

                        POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND PROTECTION

          • Short-term discomfort : headache, muscle pains, fatigue, chills, fever and pain at injection
            site
          • Side effects generally last 24-48 hours
          • Similar symptoms as COVID 19 – THE VACCINE CANNOT GIVE YOU COVID-19!
          • Side effects more pronounced with second dose
          • Side effects are normal, common and expected
          • Side effects are a good thing it means the vaccine is working you are making antibodies
          • NEED THAT SECOND DOSE and REQUIRED THAT IT BE THE SAME VACCINE AS THE
            FIRST DOSE
          • Most of the vaccines are 2 doses, either 21 or 28 days apart
          • Protection happens 1 to 2 weeks after the second dose
          • Possible that vaccinations may be needed on a regular basis similar to the flu shots, that is
            not known at this time.

     WHAT IF I HAVE                                      important to get vaccinated. It could give you

                                                       • Even if you have positive antibodies, PLEASE

      RESIDENTS
      REFUSAL
      • What about those five residents that are not
        taking the vaccine?
           – Do they have to stay in their room?
           – Quarantine every time they go out for
             another 14 days?
           – Not allowed to have any visitors and
             how are you going to keep visitors out
             of their room?

          • Vaccine routinely is causing very
            small side effects for one day.
            Sore arms and temperatures.
