F880 (Infection Prevention and Control) remains one of the most frequently cited F-tags in nursing homes, often due to inconsistencies in daily practice rather than lack of policy. This blog outlines how facilities can strengthen compliance by focusing on routine hand hygiene, proper use of PPE, cross-departmental communication, and ongoing monitoring. By embedding infection prevention into team culture and workflows, facilities reduce the risk of outbreaks, improve care quality, and boost survey readiness. Qsource supports these efforts with real-time coaching, policy reviews, and training aligned with current CMS expectations.
