Infection Control Pilot Project
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is conducting an Infection Control Pilot Project. CMS states that the pilot project is to improve assessment of control and prevention in Long Term Care facilities (LTC) which care for ventilator dependent residents. This is being done through an unannounced on-site pilot survey of a LTC facility and will focus primarily in the area of Infection Control.
A contracted surveyor and infection preventionist from Healthcare Management Solutions (HMS) conducts the pilot survey using a survey process based on the new Long-Term Care regulations. For a copy of the entrance letter click here.
