1 Informational Memo Submission of Remediation Information by Licensed Providers ODP Communication : Memo The mission of the Office of Developmental Programs is to support Pennsylvanians with developmental disabilities to achieve greater independence, choice and opportunity in their lives. AUDIENCE: Providers licensed in accordance with 55 Pa. Code Chapters 2380 (relating to adult training facilities), 2390 (relating to vocational facilities), 6400 (relating to community homes for individuals with intellectual disability) and Chapter 6500 (relating to family living homes). PURPOSE: This memorandum is to inform licensed providers of the new process to validate corrective actions for regulatory violations cited contained on the Licensing Inspection Summary with inspections ending July 1, 2015 and thereafter. BACKGROUND: The performance measures in the Federally-approved waivers require that, in the event of noncompliance, timely action is taken to correct violations and prevent recurrence. In accordance with the Federally approved waivers, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) must assure that remediation is carried out for all performance measures, for those licensed facilities funded through the Home and Community-based Waiver programs. These performance measures are identified in the quality management strategies of the Consolidated and Person/Family Directed Support (P/FDS) Waivers. The Department of Human Services, Bureau of Human Services Licensing (BHSL) is responsible for licensing management and administration. In an effort to ensure ODP can demonstrate compliance with the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) assurances, the following process was developed to ensure information related to remediation is both received by BHSL and made available to ODP. DISCUSSION: Two performance measures contained in the Consolidated and Person/Family Directed Support (P/FDS) waivers rely on data collected through the licensing process. These performance measures assess compliance of the Qualified Provider (QP) CMS Waiver Assurance ISSUE DATE: 07/02/15 ODP COMMUNICATION NUMBER: Memo Page 1
2 area and the Health and Welfare (HW) CMS Waiver Assurance area. The performance measures are: 1. and percent of licensed providers that meet training requirements in accordance with state requirements (Performance Measure QP a.i.c.1 found in Appendix C). 2. and percent of licensed providers that ensure waiver participants receive physical exams in accordance with ODP rules (Performance Measure HW a.i.16 found in Appendix G). Attachment #1 and #2 contain the regulations, by chapter and section, which are assessed as part of the analysis of the above performance measures. All violations with the regulations listed in the attached document must be corrected (remediated) and validated by BHSL within 90 days from the date of the violation in order to comply with CMS expectations. Evidence that citations have been corrected or remediated must be sent to BHSL, Licensing Regional Office, via mail or fax, and include the following elements: 1. The Inspection or SIN# indicated in CLS. 2. The regulation number. 3. The names of the individual(s) and/or staff affected by the regulatory violation. 4. A copy of a document substantiating the correction such as the physical exam form or training attendance record with the date of correction. Information submitted by the provider will be reviewed by BHSL. If the information is deemed sufficient, the licensing inspection summary will be updated to reflect a corrected date and a validation date. If the information is deemed insufficient, BHSL will contact the provider and indicate why the information is not sufficient and request additional evidence. Please note, if the regulatory violation is not remediated and validated within 90 days of the date of the citation, sanctions may be applied. For questions related to this information or to submit documentation to support remediation efforts, please contact your regional BHSL licensing administrator.
