Current through June 17, 2024
To determine compliance with operational, care, treatment,
				  and physical plant standards, the Department inspects the health clinic prior
				  to and following licensure. The Department determines compliance through
				  on-site inspections, review of schematic and construction plans, and reports of
				  qualified inspectors.
005.01 Initial
				Inspection
The Department will conduct an announced initial on-site
				  inspection to detemine compliance with 175 NAC
				  7-006 and
				  7-007. The inspection will occur
				  within 30 working days, or later if requested by the applicant, of receipt of a
				  completed application for an initial license. The Department will provide a
				  copy of the inspection report to the health clinic within ten working days
				  after completion of an inspection.
005.02 Results of Initial Inspection
7-005.02A When the Department finds that the
				applicant fully complies with the requirements of 175 NAC
				7-006 and
				7-007, the Department will issue a
				license.
7-005.02B When the
				Department finds that the applicant had complied substantially but has failed
				to comply fully with the requirements of 175 NAC
				7-006 and
				7-007 and the failure(s) would not
				pose an imminent danger of death or physical harm to persons served by the
				health clinic, the Department may issue a provisional license. The provisional
				license:
1. Is valid for up to one year;
				and
2. Is not renewable.
7-005.02C When the Department
				finds the applicant has one or more violations that create no imminent danger
				of death or serious physical harm and no direct or immediate adverse
				relationship to the health, safety, or security of the persons served by the
				health clinic, the Department may send a letter to the health clinic requesting
				a statement of compliance. The letter will include:
1. A description of each violation;
2. A request that the health clinic submit a
				statement of compliance within ten working days; and
3. A notice that the Department may take
				further steps if the statement of compliance is not submitted.
7-005.02D The statement of
				compliance must indicate any steps that have been or will be taken to correct
				each violation and the estimated time to correct each violation. Based on the
				statement of compliance, the Department will take one of the following actions:
1. If the health clinic submits and
				implements a statement of compliance that indicates a good faith effort to
				correct the violations, the Department will issue either a regular license or a
				provisional license; or
2. If the
				health clinic fails to submit and implement a statement of compliance that
				indicates a good faith effort to correct the violations, the Department may
				deny the license.
7-005.02E When the Department finds the
				applicant fails to meet the requirements of 175 NAC
				7-006 and
				7-007 and the failure(s) would create
				an imminent danger of death or serious physical harm, the Department will deny
				the license.
