| 000051c4e8302879199d90f2428c33718aa772938ccb55674641fd98a679033a | I am writing in regard to, Proposed 42 C.F.R. 483.80(a)(1) would provide that the facility must establish an infection prevention and control program (IPCP) that must include, at a minimum, a system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating and controlling infections and communicable diseases for all patients, staff, volunteers, visitors and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement. I am an Administrator in a long term care facility and have significant concern about the burden this will place on my facility with regard to meeting this expectation. Although we do have an infection control program, it is unreasonable to believe we can manage infection control for any individual who comes into our facility. These proposal add additional pressure to our facilities that are already burdened by a multitude of regulations. They would only serve to add to those burdens and take us further away from the true nature of our business which is tacking care of our patients. | 1 | 8dd2102f6558f28fbe308d8dafb570b3a5fce40e0071a3dc46f0ae9dfd0d180d |
