A hospice provider that operates a residential hospice facility must maintain and implement a procedure for isolating hospice patients with infectious diseases. The hospice provider must institute the most current isolation precautions recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The recommendations are currently titled "Guideline for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals" (1996, and as subsequently amended). The recommendations, and subsequent amendments to the recommendations, are incorporated by reference. The recommendations are available on the CDC Web site at: www.cdc.gov/ncidod and are subject to frequent change.
A fine of $300 shall be assessed for each violation of this part.
