Section 340.1510
Communicable Disease Policies
a) The facility shall comply with the Control of Communicable
Diseases Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 690).
b) A resident who is suspected of or diagnosed as having any
communicable, contagious or infectious disease, as defined in the Control of
Communicable Diseases Code, shall be placed in isolation, if required, in
accordance with the Control of Communicable Diseases Code. If the facility
believes that it cannot provide the necessary infection control measures, it
must initiate an involuntary transfer and discharge pursuant to Article III,
Part 4 of the Act and Section 340.1310 of this Part. In determining whether a
transfer or discharge is necessary, the burden of proof rests on the facility.
c) All illnesses required to be reported under the Control of
Communicable Diseases Code and Control of Sexually Transmissible Diseases Code
(77 Ill. Adm. Code 693) shall be reported immediately to the local health
department and to the Department. The facility shall furnish all pertinent
information relating to such occurrences. In addition, the facility shall
inform the Department of all incidents of scabies and other skin infestations.
