A review of the facility's document titled "Employee Work Schedule" dated October 2024 which reflected E3 was scheduled to work the night and day shift on October 30, 2024 and October 31, 2024. 3. A review of E3's personnel record revealed there was no documentation of baseline screening consisting of assessing risks of prior exposure to infectious TB, and determining if E3 had signs or symptoms of TB. 4. In an interview, E1 reviewed and acknowledged E3's personnel file did not include documentation of baseline screening consisting of assessing risks of prior exposure to infectious TB, and determining if E3 had signs or symptoms of TB.
