CMS has announced all health care providers should ensure they're implementing infection control procedures.
 
At the same time, CMS also announced state survey agencies and accrediting organizations will focus inspections exclusively on issues related to infection control and other serious health and safety threats, like allegations of abuse, starting with nursing homes and hospitals.
 
These efforts are designed to limit the spread of novel coronavirus. HHL will continue to provide agencies with the information they need to respond to coronavirus.
