Dec 7, 2018Other
The facility failed to ensure that one of three sampled staff members had complete tuberculosis (TB) testing documentation in their personnel record. While clinic documents existed, they lacked necessary dates for the administration, reading, or results of the TB tests. Consequently, the facility could not verify compliance with required TB testing control measures upon hire.
