  1. Long-term Care Facility: Surveillance of MDRO and Clostridium difficile Infections

  2. Objectives After this session, the attendee should be able to: • Recognize patients with MDRO and/or Clostridium difficileinfections (or colonization) • Conduct surveillance (track and monitor reports) within the facility • Explain the role of data feedback • Identify best practices during transfer of a patient to another facility

  3. Self-Assessment LTC Assessment Tool is found at http://www.cdc.gov/HAI/prevent/prevention_tools.html#ltc

  4. Definition of Infection for Surveillance The following 3 conditions must apply: • All symptoms must be new or acutely worse • Non-infectious causes of signs and symptoms should always be considered before a diagnosis of infection is made • Identification of infection should not be based on a single piece of evidence Source: APIC, 1996

  5. Some Infection Prevention and Control Policies and its Impact on Surveillance • Infection surveillance - either ‘whole-house’ (i.e. all residents) or ‘targeted’ toward high risk/high volume… • Note disease trends • Report data internally – weekly, monthly, quarterly and as needed

  6. Sources of Surveillance Information • ??

  7. Sources of Surveillance Information • Ward rounds / morning report • Laboratory results • Nurse or physician notes • Radiology findings • Referring and other HCF in the region • Facility transfer forms

  8. Monthly Infection Log Exercise • You will need: • McGeer case definitions • Monthly infection log • Laboratory reports • Daily Unit Census

  9. Patient 4 • 4/3/2012: Mr. Jerry J is admitted to the hospital with pneumonia • 4/5/2012: Hospital IP notifies you of the sputum culture result on Mr. Jerry J Modify your Monthly Infection Log to record this information.

  10. Patient 4 lab result

  11. Patient 5 Lab Result • Enter the laboratory result for patient # 5. • Classify the patient according to McGeer

  12. Case Definition for CDI • the presence of diarrhea, defined as passage of 3 or more unformed stools in 24 or fewer consecutive hours; AND • a stool test result positive for the presence of toxigenic C. difficile or its toxins or colonoscopic or histopathologic findings demonstrating pseudomembranous colitis.

  13. Patient 6 lab result 1. Record the lab result for patient # 6 on the monthly infection log. 2. Classify patients 6-9 according to the CDI definition

  14. Patient 11 Laboratory Result

  15. Classify Patients 11 and 12 • Mr. D (patient 11) has: • Fever • Hematuria • Flank pain • Confusion, loss of appetite • Mrs. D (patient 12) feels fine • Both have the identical organism in their urine. • Classify Mr. D and Mrs. D • What action should you take?

  16. Patients 11-12 • Treat: symptomatic UTI • Do not treat: asymptomatic bacteriuria ACTION: notify hospital

  17. Patient 13

  18. Patient 14

  19. Infection Rate Represents infection during a period of time in relation to a unit of population (percent or per n population) PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS WITH INFECTION = # of infection x 100 = Rate of Infection ave. resident census (for the month) = 4 CDI on WEST x 100 = 4% of residents had CDI in April 100 residents (on WEST)

  20. Resident-days as a Denominator • Who records resident-days in your facility? • At the same time each day, the total number of residents is recorded. • At the end of the month, the total is added up for the month = resident days.

  21. Estimation of Infection Rate • INFECTION (INCIDENCE) RATE • = Number of xxx infections x 1,000 days • Number of resident days in the month • Rate of CDI on WEST Unit: • = 4 x 1,000 = 1.33 CDI per 1000 resident-days • (3000)

  22. Summary of Infection Rates

  23. Summary of Infection Rates

  24. Summary of Infection Rates

  25. Data trends

  26. Questions • What action should you take, given these data? • When should you take this action?

  27. Questions • What action should you take, given these data? • Begin control measures • Outbreaks should be reported to the LHD • When should you take this action? • Control measures should be initiated ASAP • Outbreaks should be reported immediately

  29. Data Feedback Exercise Findings and Conclusions Feedback means sharing the CDI data in the previous graph with important people in your Long Term Care Facility: Housekeeping Medical Director Quality Improvement Committee West nursing staff 33

  30. Homework Evaluate your patient transfer form to assure notification of facilities when transferring a patient with CDI / MDRO

  32. Conclusions • We have learned • How to get surveillance information • How to review laboratory slips and define cases • How to record cases systematically • How to calculate infection rates • How to feed back surveillance data • Some ideas for sharing information between facilities • Interfacility transfer forms
