As a result of this licensing review, a Correction Order is being issued.

A. Reason for Correction Order

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06, if the Commissioner of the Department of Human Services (DHS) finds that the license holder has failed to comply with an applicable law or rule and this failure does not imminently endanger the health, safety, or rights of the persons served by the program, the Commissioner may issue a Correction Order to the license holder.

The following violation(s) of state or federal laws and rules were determined as a result of the licensing review. Corrective action for each violation is required by Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06 and is hereby ordered by the Commissioner of Human Services.

Violation: For one of three participants whose record was reviewed (P3), the license holder did not provide orientation to the license holder’s internal and external reporting procedures related to suspected or alleged maltreatment and the program abuse prevention plan (PAPP) as required.

The license holder failed to provide orientation to P3 on the licensor holder’s internal and external reporting procedures and PAPP within 24 hours of admission. P3 was admitted to the center on June 1, 2022. The license holder provided orientation to P3 on their internal and external reporting procedures and PAPP on June 6, 2022.

Corrective Action Ordered: On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.

2. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 2, paragraph (b).

Violation: For three of three participants whose records were reviewed (P1, P2, and P3), the license holder did not meet the requirements for an individual abuse prevention plan (IAPP).

The license holder failed to review P1, P2, and P3’s IAPPs quarterly as part of the review of the program plan or service plan.

· The license holder maintained documentation that P2’s IAPP was most recently reviewed on November 1, 2021.

Corrective Action Ordered: Within 30 days of receiving this order, you must:

· review P1, P2, and P3’s IAPPs with the person’s interdisciplinary team and document the review;

· complete an audit of all participants’ IAPPs to ensure the requirements in Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.65, subdivision 2, paragraph (b) are maintained; and

· for participants whose IAPPs are not developed and reviewed as required, you must develop a plan detailing how your program will maintain IAPPs as required within 60 calendar days of receiving this order.

On an ongoing basis, you must maintain compliance as required in this subdivision.
