Skilled nursing facilities face direct exposure from the OIG’s infection prevention audit findings, which identified noncompliance in roughly 24% of for-profit nursing homes reviewed nationwide and may prompt increased survey and enforcement activity.
OIG found that 24 did not meet Federal requirements pertaining to infection preventionists, leading to an estimate that approximately 1 in 4 for-profit nursing homes nationwide may have lacked proper infection prevention staffing during the review period.
