Report 2017-109: Skilled Nursing Facilities: Absent Effective State Oversight, Substandard Quality of Care Has Continued (Release Date: May 2018)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To ensure that Public Health's oversight results in nursing facilities improving their quality of care, the Legislature should require Public Health to develop by November 2018 a proposal for legislative consideration that outlines the factors it will consider when approving or denying applications from nursing facilities of the same class based on each applicant's ability to provide quality patient care. This proposal should outline the specific criteria—including relevant quality-of-care metrics—that Public Health will consider and the specific thresholds at which higher-level management must approve decisions. Public Health should review its proposal with its stakeholders before forwarding it to the Legislature. The Legislature should codify Public Health's proposal as appropriate.
