STAT: Survey Tips and Tactics 2025 - Enhanced Barrier Precautions

September 10, 2025 Live Webinar

Discover how nursing homes are being cited with their annual surveys. The Long-Term Care Survey Process and regulatory language will be reviewed. Each month will delve into a specific survey topic. Common citation examples will be given with interactive discussion from members sharing their survey experiences, best practices, and lessons learned.  Obtain useful tips and tactics for the monthly highlighted topic. Resources and other reference material will be shared.

Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) have become a critical component of infection prevention and control efforts in long-term care settings, directly impacting compliance with F880. As F880 remains a top-cited F-tag, failures to implement or maintain EBP protocols are frequently cited during surveys. This session will examine the CMS expectations for EBP implementation, highlight the difference between Standard Precautions and EBP, and explore how surveyors assess compliance with these critical guidelines. Participants will gain practical insights into how to integrate EBP seamlessly into their daily infection control practices, protect residents from multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), and ensure their facility’s policies and practices align with CMS requirements.
