Description:

Effective Nov. 28, 2017, all Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes must have an antibiotic stewardship program that includes antibiotic-use protocols and a system to monitor antibiotic use as part of their infection prevention and control program (IPCP), according to §483.80 (Infection Control) of the Code of Federal Regulations. Therefore, surveyors are now assessing compliance with this new requirement of participation under F-tag 881 during the Infection Control Facility Task, which is a mandatory part of the new survey process.
