COURSE OVERVIEW:

Receiving a Statement of Deficiencies report from DSHS may leave an administrator to wonder, “What do I do next?”  After the dust settles, the facility’s leadership is required to write and implement a plan of correction. Since assisted living communities are not required to submit a written plan of correction to DSHS, this integral step to regaining regulatory compliance may be overlooked.  This session will cover, step by step, how to write a plan of correction and tips for ensuring the correction is effective and systems are in place to ensure the citation does not recur.
