Specific Plans of Correction

To ensure that facilities are properly addressing the deficient practice, the PoC must be specific, realistic, and complete. The PoC must state exactly how the deficient practice has been or will be corrected.

The PoC must identify the nature of the corrective action.

A general statement indicating that compliance has been achieved or will be achieved is not acceptable.

The more specific the PoC, the easier it is to plan and track its implementation.
