42	GUAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AUTHORITY	655000	499 NORTH SABANA DRIVE	BARRIGADA	GU	96913	2016-09-29	517	F	0	1	H7FJ11	Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not have a detailed plan and procedures to meet all potential emergencies and disasters. Finding includes: During the survey, several documents were presented evidencing the facility's emergency/disaster preparedness plan. A review of the the facility's emergency preparedness contingency plan for a tropical cyclone (revised (MONTH) (YEAR)) which defined the role dietetic services for the skilled nursing facility was conducted. While the document outlined responsibilities of dietetic staff as well as for the cook to conduct a preliminary assessment of food supplies on hand; and coordinating at least a 2-day food supply to supplement the existing 3-day emergency food supply already kept stocked and rotated at the facility, the plan did not include the amount of drinking water allocations for the number of residents, staff, and other individuals who may be at the facility; as well as for the number of days of the emergency or disaster. Review of the facility's emergency water distribution plan also revealed that dietetic services shall support the provision of drinking water supply for patients and emergency responders during times of emergency at the hospital. Admin5 stated that the policy was a revision and was unsigned, but being circulated for signatures. The policy did not include contingency plans for an emergency or disaster but outlined procedures to be undertaken during an emergency. The policy (emergency water distribution) revealed that while procedures were outlined including conducting an inventory of available bottled drinking water at the SNU, completion of requisition forms, ordering and anticipating delivery of bottled drinking, and rationing of drinking water to patients and first responders, the policy also did not specify the amount of drinking water to be stored on-site, including at the SNU which was located about 7 miles away from the hospital, especially when the emergency or disaster involved road closures causing delivery delays, power failures, and breakdown or interruption in communications for several days.	2020-09-01
