749.635(2) - AP CPA administrator responsibilities- Ensure that the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plans.
During a review conducted on December 9, 2024, it was determined that: (1) your operation?s administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan; and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. As you know, the heightened monitoring plan for your operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the original 12-month mark by which your operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring?. As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with heightened monitoring plan, your operation is now unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring. Furthermore, your operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended. Further details of the administrator?s failure to ensure compliance include the following: Your operation received a high weighted citation in a pattern/trend category on November 5, 2024. Specifically, the operation was cited for 749.1521(1) Medication Storage-Store medication in a locked container. The operation met compliance on November 19, 2024. - Operation failed to satisfy the conditions of the plan. - Operation failed to demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring; and - Operation was unable to meet compliance with Medium-High or High weighted licensing citations. Finding: 749.635(2) ? The licensed administrator must ensure the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plan. |
