Infection control remains the number one tag cited for skilled nursing facilities. To help you avoid potential penalties, or even a Directed Plan of Correction, PharMerica’s Infection Prevention and Control Program Audit offers targeted reviews on site by our Nurse Consultants. They provide comprehensive audits to evaluate your facility’s infection control efforts and compliance with F-880 through F-887* requirements.
*At this time, the audit does not include F-888.
Part 1: Infection Control Program
F-880: Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP)
“Instead of it being an anxiety-filled experience, we were able to have a third party come in that many of the staff are familiar with and receive constructive feedback on what they can do better.”
-Edwin Alvarez, Infection Preventionist, Country Oaks Care
