Bill > S791

This bill aims to improve infection control in nursing facilities. It proposes using Civil Monetary Penalty (CMP) funds to establish a grant program to cover the costs of specialized infection prevention and control training for Infection Preventionists in certified nursing facilities. Additionally, the bill requires the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to reimburse nursing homes for employing a full-time Infection Preventionist and provide supplemental payments to facilities that establish isolation and quarantine rooms to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, with daily payments for isolation rooms set at no less than the facility's average Medicaid daily rate.
