Let's take a look at an example of a violation an agency might have received and that agency's proposed plan of correction that would not be considered acceptable.

In the interest of brevity, the violation will be summarized then there will be an example of a plan of correction.

Try to ascertain some of the reasons the example of the plan would be considered unacceptable.

Example:

The agency received a violation for Z194, 26 TAC §558.247, concerning employability of unlicensed persons. The agency must request a criminal history check on new, unlicensed applicants for employment. The survey exit date was 7/13/19.

Based on review of employee files and staff interview, the agency failed to comply with Health and Safety Code, Chapter 250, in that criminal history checks of employees who provide direct client care were not conducted within 72 hours of employment in 2 of 3 employee files reviewed (employee files #6 and 8).
