Participants will learn how the Legionella bacteria enter a long term care facility and grow in its plumbing systems. The session will cover the seven steps that administrators, nurses, and engineering staff need to include in a water management program and be in compliance with CMS QSO-17-30. In addition, the Department of Public Health will discuss the procedure for reporting a case of legionella and what happens once a report is filed.
