As promised, below are the attachments and notes for the workgroup which met yesterday. (Reminder: this work group is specific to the group of county board superintendents language from budget surrounding provider compliance)
Provider Compliance/Support Work Group Notes 9/25/17
·
Quick review of previous meeting: Compliance from OPSR, COG, Family/guardian, and provider perspective
·
OPSR reviewed the reports for Suspensions and Revocations 2012-present
·
OPSR reviewed the Factors for Suspensions
·
Reviewed the Basic Work Flow for Provider Sanctions
·
Much discussion around the compliance reviews and where the data on those can be found-family reps very interested in these being transparent and the ability to also view the plan of correction (it is very difficult to narrow
down choice of provider)
·
Group discussion on identification of provider who may be struggling or need infrastructure to support growth---how can we support from County and provider standpoint?
·
Suggestions surrounding creation of a SCORECARD for providers (possibly from compliance reviews)
·
Review of 5123.166 Adjudication order against certificate applicant or holder by Brad Singer (this is currently what is in rule)
·
County Board reps reminded group that their language was proposed directly related to the time it takes for the process to happen (in the mean time, individuals are at risk of serious health and safety issues). What can DODD
do? What can be put in place for immediate actions?
·
The group discussed many possible proposals including:
a.
Possibly review the Compliance Tool-prioritizing again what really matters to individuals and families etc…
b.
Identification when provider starts struggling---county board possibly have Provider Development/Support focus---peer providers to assist with best practices/business operational assistance
c.
Create possible milestones for providers (get to certain size/billing level, operational requirements: education, departmental infrastructure, etc.)
d.
Need to discuss once suspension process is initiated—what can be shared and how it should be shared with families/individuals
e.
Look at other licensing commissions/boards and how they function to do summary suspensions (immediate actions) ie: dental board, board of nursing, etc… (Legal team to bring those examples next meeting)
f.
The group will ensure that all discussions are contained in the report to legislature at conclusion of workgroup
·
Next meeting: Oct 30th
