Ala. Admin. Code r. 580-3-23-.12

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 580-3-23-.12 - Site Visit Reports

(1) Within thirty (30) days of the site visit, the Certification Site Visit Report will be sent to the Agency's Director via certified mail. As applicable, a copy of the report will be sent to the agency's Board of Directors and, as applicable, a copy will be sent to the Executive Director of an agency holding the contract with DMH/MR (if the agency certified is a sub-contracting agency).

(2) The Certification Site Visit Report lists each standard not met and specific findings, which constitute the basis for noncompliance, and may also include recommendations for standards that need quality improvement. The report will specify timeframes for mandatory compliance with specific standards. Consistent failure to meet Department standards, as defined in this regulation (580-3-23-.16 ), may result in provider decertification without further certification site visits being conducted.

(3) If a certification site visit determines that a provider is not in substantial compliance with a DMH/MR division's standards, the provider's Executive Director, and as applicable, the Board of Directors, the executive director of the provider's parent agency, and any other appropriate parties, will be notified by letter sent via certified mail that the provider is being placed in provisional certification status for a period of up to sixty (60) days.
