Compliance with the Law
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) expects health care facilities to comply with the CMS conditions of participation and state licensing requirements to protect the health and safety of its patients. Skilled Nursing Facilities must have a water management plan, which includes a facility risk assessment and testing protocols, available for review. Facilities unable to demonstrate measures to minimize the risk of Legionnaires’ disease are out of compliance.

Treatment and Testing Protocols
OnSite Legionella Testing specifies testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures.
Controls and Recordkeeping
