Regulatory Compliance for Nursing Homes
Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities must comply with CMS Conditions of Participation, which include infection control and waste management requirements. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard applies to all staff who handle regulated medical waste. DEA regulations govern the disposal of controlled substance pharmaceutical waste. State health department regulations require licensed medical waste disposal vendors for all regulated waste generated in long-term care settings.
Types of Medical Waste Generated by Nursing Homes
- Sharps — insulin syringes, lancets, IV needles, and hypodermic needles
- Pharmaceutical waste — expired, wasted, or returned medications including opioids
- Biohazardous waste — wound care materials, contaminated dressings, and incontinence supplies
- Controlled substance waste — Schedule II–V medications requiring DEA-compliant disposal
- Blood-contaminated materials — lab draw supplies, IV supplies, and treatment residuals
- Contaminated PPE — gloves and protective equipment from resident care procedures
