1/11/2021 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
1/11/2021 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
1/11/2021 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). 20 10
1/11/2021 BLANKET WAIVERS • The memo provides a list of regulations/tags that have been waived or partially waived since 3/1/20. • The only waiver that has been rescinded since that date is the one exempting facilities from submitting staffing data. This requirement was fully restored on 6/25/20. • All other waivers are still in effect. 21 POST-COVID GI BLEED NEWS FL ASH W E N DY B O R E N , B S N , R N 22 11
1/11/2021 RED ALERT!! GI BLEED POST-COVID Unexpected (problematic) post-COVID GI symptoms Expected GI symptoms of COVID-19 • Bleeding from teeth, gums • Nausea • Hemataemesis • Vomiting • Coffee-ground emesis *think about the smell • Diarrhea • Melena • Abdominal pain • Blood in the ears, nose • Loss of appetite • Unusual fatigue • Abnormal liver chemistry panel • Pallor • SOB 23 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. “ Source: A severe coronavirus disease 2019 patient with high-risk predisposing factors died from massive gastrointestinal bleeding: a case report | BMC Gastroenterology | Full Text (biomedcentral.com) 24 12

1/11/2021 • December 22, 2020, HHS withdrew its prior requirement that nursing homes REPORTING - report COVID-19 point-of-care (POC) test results to the NHSN. This does not eliminate the requirement to report POC tests for those providers CDC AND HHS with a CLIA waiver. Options: – POC results through state and local public health departments CHANGE ON – OR through NHSN. REQUIREMENT – Should you choose to report to the state and local public health departments, then obtaining SAMS Level-3 access to the NHSN is no longer TO REPORT POC necessary. – Still must report positive cases of COVID-19 through NHSN. TEST RESULTS TO THE NHSN • Best Choice: Report your POC test results in the same way you have been reporting. – If you have been reporting to the NHSN, continue to report your POC testing results to the NHSN. – If you were reporting your POC test results to the state, continue to report to the state. – If you were not reporting your POC test results because you were waiting for your SAMS level 3, start reporting to the state to avoid any enforcement action. 31 NHSN REPORTING • https://tmfnetworks.org/Portals/0/Resource%20Center/NHSN%20Situational%20Guide-Final%20508.pdf • Step I – Registering with NHSN • Step II – Registering with SAMS • Step III – Applying for the SAMS Grid Card • Step IV – You had an SAMS Grid Card but left it at your previous facility or misplaced it. – Action:You must obtain a new SAMS Grid Card • Step V – You are new to the facility and can log in using your SAMS Grid Card, but do not have access to report COVID-19 data.Your facility is already registered and the designated team member who was reporting COVID-19 data to NHSN is no longer employed. – Action:You must be added to NHSN at the new facility. 32 16
1/11/2021 MISSOURI INCREASES HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE RATE FOR 2021 • $10.30 as of January 1, 2021. – This is an 85-cent increase from the hourly minimum wage of $9.45 in 2020.

1/11/2021 QIPMO ICAR TEAM Sharon Thomas, BSN, RN, IP Clinical Educator/Consultant thomassg@missouri.edu Shari Kist, PhD, RN, CNE, IP Project Supervisor (MOQI); Clinical Advisor kistse@missouri.edu Janice Dixon-Hall, IP Database Coordinator (MOQI); Advisor dixonhallj@missouri.edu Nicky Martin, MPA, BS, LNHA, CDP, IP LTC Leadership Coach martincaro@missouri.edu Steve Miller, MA, IP Payment Support Coordinator (MOQI); Advisor millerst@health.Missouri.edu 35 Employers should remember that guidance from public health authorities is likely to change as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. Therefore, employers should continue to follow the most current information on maintaining workplace safety. • READ • https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-covid-19-and-ada- rehabilitation-act-and-other-eeo-laws CAN AN EMPLOYER Consider… 1. EEOC states employers can require employees be vaccinated so long as REQUIRE VACCINE certain conditions are met (such as job related) and certain exceptions are not applicable (such as medical or religious concerns). • So long as it does not also seek information about the employee’s impairments or health status. • Take precaution against prying into an employee’s potential status as an individual with a disability. • All questions need to be job-related and consistent with business necessity. 36 18
1/11/2021 • If an employee has the vaccine somewhere else, you have the right to request proof from the employee and keep that record in the employee’s medical file. • Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the employer must consider whether a CAN AN EMPLOYER reasonable accommodation can be made without posing an undue hardship for a REQUIRE VACCINE religious objection. • Unions – would need to look at their collective bargaining agreements to determine whether they have the right to implement mandatory vaccinations. 37 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.

1/11/2021 VACCINES AND STAFF CONCERNS • Nobody wants to be first? • How do we know the vaccine is safe? • What are the side effects going to be? COVID-19 Vaccine • Is it going to be effective? Hesitation is real • How long is the protection going to last? • The vaccine developed outside the United States. • Is there new technology being used and is that dangerous to me? • What if I’ve already had COVID-19? • Where do I find the right information? 39 VACCINE CAMPAIGN Protect Safeguard Help Set Protect myself and Safeguard my Help stop Set the example for my family residents community spread others, including residents, families, co-workers, and the coummunity-at- large 40 20
1/11/2021 • The FDA is using the same standards that it has for decades. It is important that the vaccine is safe. That is priority. • They are not “skipping” steps • Side effects usually occur within 6 weeks of administration of the vaccine, and the FDA has required 8 weeks of safety ARE THE COVID-19 monitoring. Monitoring for safety will continue. VACCINES SAFE? • The current phase 3 trials have 30,000 to 50,000 participants. Normally there are a minimum of 3,000 participants to assess safety. This shows how safety is a high priority for the FDA and for all medical personnel. 41 NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR 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 42 21
1/11/2021 • 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 43 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. Will you still need to wear a Mask??? YES 44 22
1/11/2021 SPECIAL • It is safe to get the COVID-19 vaccine even if you have had COVID-19 CIRCUMSTANCES: • Even if you have had COVID-19, it is WHAT IF I HAVE important to get vaccinated. It could give you longer or better protection against the ALREADY HAD disease. COVID-19? • Even if you have positive antibodies, PLEASE get the COVID-19 Vaccine 45 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? – QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY 46 23
