Representation In Compliance Conferences

Compliance Conferences Courses

The Compliance Plan Conference develops changes to the facility plan of operation that establishes specific actions the Licensee will take to improve the operation of the facility. The Compliance Plan Conference does not preclude the Department from initiating administrative action if the licensee fails to implement and maintain improvements to the quality of care and supervision or fails to make other changes as reflected in the plan. JMPM Consultants will represent the Licensee during the facility Compliance Plan Conference. Prior to the meeting, JMPM Consultants will discuss the comprehensive plans outlining specific actions required to resolve facility problems with the licensee. The plan developed by JMPM Consultants and jointly agreed to by the Licensee to how and when a deficiency(s) shall be corrected in order to bring the facility into compliance shall be presented to the Department during the conference. The purpose of the Non-Compliance Conference is to, in the presence of the Regional Manager, review problem areas and impress upon the licensee the seriousness of the situation. The need for a Non-Compliance Conference may arise from a series of repeated licensing violations, issuance of civil penalties, informal meetings or telephone conversations with the licensee. The licensee should be informed that unless deficiencies are corrected and continued compliance is maintained, the case will be referred to the Legal Division for administrative action. The Non- Compliance Conference may be the last step prior to initiating administrative action following unsuccessful attempts by the Licensing Program Analyst and Licensing Program Manager to gain compliance. During the Non-Compliance Conference, JMPM consultants will prepare the Licensee to respond to the representatives of Department of Social Services, assist the Licensee with the corrective measures, help demonstrate the Licensee's intention to make a good faith effort to comply and remain in substantial compliance with licensing regulations. To improve the quality of care and supervision in the board and care home or assisted living facility , JMPM Consultants will monitor the facility's over-all management and operation through periodic visits as stipulated in the probationary status, conduct additional in-service training and consultation as deemed necessary in maintaining regulatory compliance.
