| V0506 | PA-IMMUNIZATION/MEDICATION HISTORY CFR(s): 494.80(a)(3) The patient's comprehensive assessment must include, but is not limited to, the following: Immunization history, and medication history. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on a review of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, patient medical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that one of one sampled patient (P) P#1, was screened for Tuberculosis (TB - an infectious bacterial disease that usually attacks the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body). This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the health and safety of P#1 who received peritoneal home dialysis services at this facility. Findings include: A review of the CDC recommendation stated that all dialysis patients, be tested at least once for baseline tuberculin (TB) skin test results (TST) and re-screened if TB exposure is detected. Chest x-rays may be used for individuals for whom the TST is not an option. A review of medical records revealed that P#1 was admitted to this facility on 5/23/19. A TB testing was administered on 5/28/19. There was no documentary evidence of the result nor a record of chest x-ray was done. During a discussion with the Facility Administrator on 7/11/19 at 1:30 p.m., she stated that the TB result of P#1 was not documented therefore, TB testing should be repeated. |
