Description
F880 infection control has been the focus for nursing homes for the past 3 years. As we enter the endemic phase of COVID, let's take a look at F880 with fresh eyes. This session will take a deep dive into the elements of F880 that continue to create headaches of compliance for nursing homes. We will review the F tag from an overview of content and review the gaps most often cited. We will look at the links between F880 and staff turnover; as well as F880 and other tags being linked in survey outcomes. We will review water management and other non-clinical focused sections of infection control and discuss their impact on facility compliance. Finally, we will wrap up with a quick overview of what a QIN/QIO is and how we support nursing homes in quality improvement.
