Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 67 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part V - Child Welfare › Subpart 8 - Residential Licensing › Chapter 71 - Residential Homes-Type IV › Section V-7108 - Corrective Action Plans

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. A corrective
				  action plan (CAP) shall be submitted for any and all deficiencies noted by
				  Licensing Section staff regarding any licensing law or standard, or any other
				  required statute, ordinance, or standard. The CAP and related documents shall
				  be submitted using the Sanswrite licensee portal or by a method as requested by
				  the department. The request for submission of the CAP does not restrict the
				  actions which may be taken by DCFS. If the department does not specify an
				  earlier timeframe for submitting the CAP, the CAP shall be submitted within 10
				  calendar days from the date of the inspection or receipt of the deficiencies,
				  if mailed or emailed. The CAP shall include a description of how the deficiency
				  will be corrected, the date by which correction(s) shall be completed, and
				  outline the steps the provider plans to take in order to prevent further
				  deficiencies from being cited in these areas, and the plan to maintain
				  compliance with the licensing standards. If the CAP is not sufficient and/or
				  additional information is required, the provider shall be notified and informed
				  to submit additional information within three calendar days. If it is
				  determined that all areas of noncompliance or deficiencies have not been
				  corrected, the department may revoke the license.
B. Provider may challenge a specific
				  deficiency or any information within a cited deficiency which the provider
				  contends is factually inaccurate. The provider shall have one opportunity to
				  request a review of a licensing deficiency. A statement of why the deficiency
				  is being disputed and supporting documents (if applicable) shall be submitted
				  with the corrective action plan within the timeframe specified for the
				  submission of the CAP.
C. The
				  statement of deficiencies for which a review has been requested will not be
				  placed on the internet for viewing by the public until a decision has been
				  reached. As a result of the licensing deficiency review request, a deficiency
				  may be upheld with no changes, the deficiency may be removed, or the deficiency
				  may be upheld and revised to include pertinent information that was
				  inadvertently omitted. Once a decision has been reached, provider will be
				  informed in writing of the decision and the reason for the decision. If the
				  deficiency or information within the deficiency was cited in error or the cited
				  deficiency is revised by the DCFS Licensing Section staff, provider will
				  receive a revised "statement of deficiencies" with the decision letter. If any
				  enforcement action was imposed solely because of a deficiency or finding that
				  has been deleted through the licensing deficiency review process, the action
				  will be rescinded.
