If there is one webinar your hospital should listen to this year it would be this one. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has finalized the surveyor worksheet for assessing compliance with the infection control Conditions of Participation. The worksheets are used by State and Federal surveyors on all survey activates when assessing compliance with the infection control standards. Infection control is hit hard during the survey and every hospital should have a full working familiarity with this important document.
• Discuss that CMS has a final infection control worksheet;
• Recall that the infection control worksheet has a tracer on indwelling urinary catheters;
• Describe what CMS requires for safe injection practices and sharps safety; and
• Recall that the infection control worksheet has a section on hand hygiene tracer.
