2380.111(a) | Individual #1, date of admission 10/2/23, had a physical examination completed 12/18/23. Individual #2 had physical examinations completed 5/17/22 and then again 3/19/24. [Repeat Violation 4/20/23] | Each individual shall have a physical examination within 12 months prior to admission and annually thereafter. | To address the concerns raised, we have implemented a comprehensive plan of correction aimed at ensuring accurate and up-to-date records for our clients' physicals and Mantoux tests, as well as overall compliance with licensing requirements. Here is an overview of the steps we have taken:
1. **Implementation of On-Target Platform**: We are in the process of implementing On-Target, an electronic platform designed to assist in keeping accurate records for client physicals and Mantoux tests. This system will streamline our record-keeping process and enhance accuracy.
2. **Appointment of Day Program Director**: We have hired a dedicated Day Program Director who will oversee all aspects of client records, including programming. This individual will be responsible for pulling weekly reports on physical and Mantoux dates for day program clients.
3. **Client Reminder System**: If a physical or Mantoux test is within three months of the due date, a reminder paper will be sent to the appropriate contact for the client. This proactive approach will help ensure timely compliance with testing requirements.
4. **Weekly Supervision Meetings**: The Program Director will conduct weekly supervision meetings to review reports and address any issues or discrepancies in client records. This regular review process will enable us to promptly address any compliance issues as they arise.
5. **Welcome Letter for New Clients**: A "Welcome Letter" will be sent to all new clients admitted to the Day Program, along with a copy of the physical form to be filled out by their physician before their start date. This will set clear expectations and facilitate compliance from the outset.
6. **Appointment of Assistant Director**: We have also hired an Assistant Director who will review client files every three months to ensure ongoing compliance. The findings will be reviewed with the Program Director to address any areas needing improvement.
We are confident that these measures will help us achieve and maintain compliance with licensing requirements. We appreciate your feedback and oversight, and we are committed to continuously improving our practices to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients. |
