MDRO Transfer Forms and RN Delegation Highlights Deborah Cateora, BSN, RN
MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS • MDROs: • Are infectious organisms that no longer respond to most antibiotics or antiviral medications, currently available; • CDC and state Health Departments are taking strong actions to reduce the transmission of drug resistant and multi-drug resistant infections organisms; • Continue to be a growing issue.
MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS • Efforts to reduce the transmission of MDROs include: • Aggressive infection control training efforts; and • Use of the MDRO transfer form. • Reduction of infectious organisms non-MDROs and MDROs include: • Hand Hygiene; • Respiratory Hygiene; and • Appropriate use of Standard and Contact Precautions.
MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS • More training will be available for caregivers in all settings in October or November 2014. • Effective January 1, 2014 a new law requires certain facilities to fill out and/or provide a MDRO transfer form to another facility when an individual with a confirmed or suspected MDRO is being transferred to another facility.
MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS • Currently, ALFs/RCFs are not mandated to create a form but if they receive a MDRO transfer form here is what needs to be done: • Assure all appropriate standard precautions are implemented at all times; • Keep the MDRO transfer form with the resident’s record; • Provide a copy to any emergency personnel (i.e. paramedics etc.) when treating and/or transporting the resident from their home;
MULTIDRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS • Provide a copy to the facility when a resident is being transferred to the hospital, emergency room, ambulatory surgical center, nursing facility or another licensed or certified care setting; and • Notify the local health department within one working day of the date of transfer. • Example of MDRO transfer forms can be found at: • https://public.health.oregon.gov/DiseasesConditions/CommunicableDisease/HAI/Prevention/Pages/Interfacility-Communication.aspx.
RN DELEGATION • RN Delegation (Division 47) has specific requirements regarding actions and documentation. Current issues that we see are: • Only indicating the resident is “Stable and Predictable”: • This is a statement only and is not the documentation that supports the statement. Forms that have a check box still have to have supporting data recorded in the residents’ record.
RN DELEGATION • Step-by-step instructions are not unique to the individual resident: • There must be resident specific information regarding how the caregiver is to perform the task. • Step-by-step instructions kept in a central location: • The step-by-step instructions are resident specific and should be kept with the MAR for that resident. • Not watching each caregiver perform the task both on the initial and subsequent re-evaluations: • Must be performed at the frequency ordered.
RN DELEGATION • RN not reviewing the MAR routinely for medications or treatments specific to the delegated task; • Incoming RN not following the transfer of delegation as outlined in Division 45: • The only potential time saver if, after reviewing the step-by-step instructions, the incoming RN deems sufficient. • Caregivers continue to perform delegated tasks even after the RN has left or quit and the task has not been re-delegated; • Sliding scale information is not addressed adequately;
RN DELEGATION • RN not leaving sufficient instructions on when to contact the delegating RN immediately; and • Not specifying when the re-evaulation will be completed. In 90 days or 180 days etc. is not sufficient must at minimum indicate the week of or an actual date.
