COVID-19 FREE Testing

Posted on

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services continues to offer FREE COVID-19 testing. Individuals seeking a free testing opportunity are not required to pre-register or have an appointment, simply show up to one of the events below to receive the test. A government issued ID is not a requirement for this testing, but having one available onsite speeds up the registration process. Testing is still a very important tool in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Event information can always be found at www.health.mo.gov/communitytest. Additional sites (with regular or one-time opportunities) may be added as indicators suggest the need for additional testing.

Vaccine Information

Posted on

This COVID-19 Vaccine document outlines processes to address the ongoing vaccination needs for residents and staff in long term care communities.

  • For residents and staff who received their first dose at the final clinic conducted by CVS or Walgreens and are in need of a second dose of Moderna vaccine: Regional Implementation Teams and the Missouri National Guard will be coordinating with local partners to provide onsite vaccine for these residents and staff. Please review the attached document for additional information on this process.
    • Walgreens has indicated they will also be conducting outreach to those communities where they provided onsite clinics to ensure there is opportunity for administration of this second dose. This outreach by Walgreens may be ideal for ensuring residents who have been discharged to home have access to the vaccine if they don’t have the ability to return to the long term care community for the second dose.
  • For residents and staff who have yet to receive vaccine (new residents and staff, and residents and staff who did not receive vaccine at the onsite clinics): Several options are outlined in the attached document for ensuring ongoing access to vaccine. The University of Missouri-Columbia COVID Accountability Team (CAT) team will be available to assist communities with determining which option best meets their needs and with navigating through the process. DHSS hosted a WebEx call on Monday, March 29th at 1:30 for long term care communities that are interested in becoming a vaccinator. The WebEx was recorded and can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

Long Term Care Facilities and Vaccination-20210329 1830-1

Thank you to our partners for assisting us with developing these processes and for assisting with coordination efforts moving forward! Questions related to ongoing vaccine efforts may be addressed to Shelly Williamson at shelly.williamson@health.mo.gov.

April 23, 2021: Artifacts of Culture Change (ACC) 2.0 and ACC for Assisted Living
Presenters: the developers of the Artifacts, our Host Carmen Bowman and her guest Karen Schoeneman

An Artifacts 2.0 version for nursing homes, and a first-ever Artifacts for Assisted Living are now available, thanks to the Pioneer Network. The ACC is an internal self-assessment tool — inspirational and educational, reflecting concrete practices that change institutional culture or “artifacts” of culture change. Walk through each of the over-130 items with the developers Karen Schoeneman and Carmen Bowman in three sessions (March 19, April 23 and May 21) and be inspired to learn culture change practices you may have not considered – to shift the focus from institutional to individual, and institution to home.

These detailed and in-depth sessions build on the overview provided during the Pioneer Network’s webinar (Feb. 18, 2021) introducing the Artifacts. (The recording of that webinar will soon be offered for free on the Pioneer website.)

Health Quality Innovation Network – Complete and Compliant Vaccine Tracking Tools

Posted on

April 8, 2021: Don’t Lose Track! Complete & Compliant Vaccine Tracking Tools

As COVID-19 vaccination rates increase there is an opportunity for your facility to ensure accurate vaccine tracking among team members and residents. The Health Quality Innovation Network (HQIN) has developed COVID-19 vaccination administration and tracking tools to show you at-a-glance where your facility coverage stands and what gaps you need to address. Not only do these tools strengthen compliance monitoring, they also can assist with optional NHSN COVID-19 vaccine reporting. During this 30-minute Office Hours session, an infection preventionist and LTC nurse will walk you through the new tools to facilitate vaccine tracking compliance and target improvement efforts.

SLCR Life Safety Code Information Series

Posted on

The Section for Long-Term Care Regulation will be releasing a series of Life Safety Code Information.

Today’s subject is:

Does Life Safety Code allow candles in a certified facility?

Facilities may not use candles with wicks for décor. If a facility chooses to use candles as décor, the candle shall not have a wick, and the wick must be pulled out. It is not acceptable to have the wick cut flush to the candle.

Facility staff may use lit candles for a birthday celebration, but facility staff must continually supervise the candles while lit.

If a facility uses candles for religious purposes, these lit candles must be supervised 24/7 or be in a different occupancy with a 2-hour wall that separates it from the rest of the facility. The facility has the option to utilize an electric candle when it is not possible or practical to supervise the lit candles.

Please feel free to reach out to your regional office with any questions.

Posted on

Information for NHSN users – Important Information for Long-term Care Facility Users

The NHSN team will offer trainings providing basic guidance for data entry for the NHSN Long-term Care Facility COVID-19 Point of Care (POC) Test Reporting Tool as well as tool updates released on February 4, 2021. The trainings may be a live presentation or a previously recorded presentation, but all sessions will allow for submission of audience questions with NHSN staff response. A recorded webinar will be posted for on-line viewing.

The NHSN option enables nursing homes to enter POC laboratory test data into the NHSN application. NHSN, in turn, will report the nursing home POC laboratory test data electronically to the public health agency, state or local, that has jurisdictional authority and responsibility to receive and use the nursing home’s data. Deidentified nursing home POC laboratory data will also be reported via existing public health reporting mechanisms to the US Department of Health and Human Services in accordance with the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act requirements.

**Please note the webinars have the same link. Attendees will be able to choose which session they are able to attend. Both webinars are identical in content, so please plan to attend once.

Pioneer Network: Hot Topics – Culture Change in Action

Posted on

February 18, 2021: The Artifacts of Culture Change 2.0 – It’s Here
Guides: Karen Schoeneman, Karen Schoeneman Consulting: Quality of Life and Culture Change, and Carmen Bowman, Regulator turned Educator, Edu-Catering: Catering Education for Compliance and Culture Change

The Artifacts of Culture Change (ACC), originally developed in 2006 by Karen Schoeneman and Carmen Bowman as a CMS funded project, has recently been updated and expanded into the ACC 2.0, reflecting the many culture change and person-directed practices that are part of turning an institution into a home/community. The ACC 2.0 is integral to the culture change movement and a great way for communities to assess and measure where they are on the culture change journey, celebrate accomplishments, and generate goals and action plans for the journey. There are now two ACC 2.0 tools: one for nursing homes and the other for assisted living communities ACC-AL). Life plan communities have their choice of the two.

This webinar will provide an overview of the ACC 2.0 for nursing homes and the new ACC-AL for assisted living. Karen and Carmen will explain why and how the 2.0 versions were developed, introduce the subsections with examples, and describe best practices for completing the tool as a team.

And there’s more. Pioneer Network will soon be hosting web-based versions of both tools for download and/or online completion, along with videos to assist in completion of the tools. New web pages will soon be available with helpful resources to support teams in learning how to implement the practices reflected in the tool.

January 21, 2021: Working Together to Find Our Way to Yes

How many times have you or your team had a great idea about how to do something in your community, and you want to say ‘yes’, but are stopped short because it might be too risky, or the biggest reason heard, that the regulations say you can’t do it.

Even as we say this, we know that person-centered practices and the regulations are not at odds. Sometimes it’s the interpretation, or more often, it’s not WHAT we do, but HOW we do it that creates the conflict.

Pioneer Network is proud to bring together a dynamic panel of individuals from the field of aging services – all of them risk-takers at heart – to share and discuss ideas on how we can work together to find a way to say yes to the person-centered practices we strive to bring to our communities.

COVID-19 Healthcare Quality and Worker Safety Information

Posted on

Please find this week’s review of CDC’s COVID-19 resources and information. We continue to highlight COVID-19 vaccine information in addition to resources specific to healthcare quality and worker safety and health.

COVID-19 VACCINE RESOURCES
CDC COVID Data Tracker — Vaccinations are now being tracked on CDC’s COVID Data Tracker. Numbers reported on CDC’s website are validated through a submission process with each jurisdiction and may differ from numbers posted on other websites. Differences between reporting jurisdictions and CDC’s website may occur due to the timing of reporting and website updates.

How to Report COVID Vaccine-Related Adverse Events — As Americans start receiving their first COVID-19 vaccines, additional data on potential adverse events are needed in real time. Healthcare providers will play a critical role in reporting vaccine-related adverse events through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Providers can also encourage individual patients to self-report potential adverse events as they occur through v-safe, CDC’s new patient reporting platform. Read more in this new CDC Medscape Expert Commentary by Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, CDC’s COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Team Lead.

Updated Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Currently Authorized in the United States — This guidance has been updated to include the following:

  • Additional information on antibody therapies and COVID-19 vaccination
  • Information on COVID-19 vaccination and outbreak management
  • Additional information on vaccination of immunocompromised persons
  • Updates to contraindications and precautions to vaccination
  • Information on COVID-19 vaccination and tuberculin skin testing

To learn more, please visit: mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines.

Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccination in Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF) — Making sure LTCF residents can receive COVID-19 vaccination as soon as vaccine is available will help save the lives of those who are most at risk of dying from COVID-19. CDC updates frequently asked questions for Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control and Healthcare Professionals regularly based on feedback from professionals on the ground.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
US COVID-19 Cases Caused by Variants — The cases identified are based on a sampling of SARS-CoV-2-positive specimens and do not represent the total number of B.1.1.7 lineage cases that may be circulating in the United States and may not match numbers reported by states, territories, tribes, and local officials.

SARS-CoV-2 Transmission from People Without COVID-19 Symptoms — Researchers used a model to assess the proportion of COVID-19 spread that likely occurs from infected people who do not have symptoms. They found that more than 50% of new COVID-19 infections were estimated to have come from people without symptoms. These findings underscore the importance of measures such as wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands to slow the spread of COVID-19. Strategic testing of people who are not ill, such as those who have been exposed to COVID-19 or those with frequent contact with the public, can also reduce the spread of COVID-19 until safe and effective vaccines are widely available.

Summary for Healthcare Facilities: Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of PPE during Shortages — This quick reference summarizes CDC’s strategies to optimize personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies in healthcare settings and provides links to CDC’s full guidance documents on optimizing supplies which provide additional strategies and details.

Summary for Healthcare Facilities: Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of N95 Respirators during Shortages — This summary is intended to help healthcare facilities optimize supplies of disposable N95 filtering facepiece respirators when there is limited supply during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Updated People with Certain Medical Conditions — Revisions were made on December 23, 2020 to reflect recent data supporting increased risk of severe illness among persons with Down Syndrome from the virus that causes COVID-19. Revisions also include addition of sickle cell disease and chronic kidney disease to the conditions that might increase the risk of severe illness among children.

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) — Allergic Reactions Including Anaphylaxis After Receipt of the First Dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine — United States, December 14–23, 2020 — This report summarizes the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of people in the U.S. with anaphylaxis and non-anaphylaxis allergic reactions following administration of a first dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine during December 14-23, 2020. Monitoring by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System detected 21 cases of anaphylaxis after administration of a reported 1,893,360 first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (11.1 cases per million doses); 71% of these occurred within 15 minutes of vaccination. Post-event follow-up indicates that the patients experiencing anaphylaxis fully recovered following treatment. You can learn more here: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) — Rates of COVID-19 Among Residents and Staff Members in Nursing Homes — United States, May 25–November 22, 2020 — A federal mandate issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), required nursing homes to commence enrollment and routine reporting of COVID-19 cases among residents and staff members by May 25, 2020. This report uses the NHSN nursing home COVID-19 data reported during May 25–November 22, 2020, to describe COVID-19 rates among nursing home residents and staff members and compares these with rates in surrounding communities by corresponding U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) region. You can learn more here: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) — Assessment of Day-7 Postexposure Testing of Asymptomatic Contacts of COVID-19 Patients to Evaluate Early Release from Quarantine — Vermont, May–November 2020 — On May 8, 2020, the Vermont Department of Health (VDH) issued a Health Update recommending shortening the duration of quarantine for persons exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Exposed persons who were in quarantine could be tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on or after quarantine day 7. Those who had remained asymptomatic throughout quarantine and who received a negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR test result on or after day 7 could end quarantine. You can learn more here: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
