Revises infection control regulations in long-term care facilities.
This bill amends current law to revise infection control regulations in long-term care facilities. It mandates that long-term care facilities develop an outbreak response plan, customized to the facility, based on national standards and developed in consultation with the facility's infection prevention and control committee. The plan must include policies for isolating and cohorting infected and at-risk residents, notification policies, and a documented strategy for securing more staff during an outbreak.
