26 Tex. Admin. Code § 551.192 - Determinations and Actions Pursuant to Inspections, Surveys, or Investigations
(a) Texas Health and Human Services
Commission (HHSC) will determine if a facility meets licensure requirements
through inspections, surveys, and investigations.
(b) During an investigation resulting from a
complaint, HHSC does not disclose the source of the complaint.
(c) At the conclusion of an inspection,
survey, or investigation, a representative of HHSC holds an exit conference
with a representative of the facility and provides the facility representative
a written list of preliminary findings.
(d) If HHSC cites additional violations
during a review of field notes or preparation of the official final statement
of licensing violations, HHSC:
(1)
communicates the additional violations to the facility in writing within ten
working days after the exit conference; and
(2) gives the facility an additional
face-to-face exit conference regarding the additional violations.
(e) HHSC provides the facility
with a clear and concise summary in nontechnical language of each licensure
inspection or complaint investigation.
(f) The facility must submit a plan to
correct cited violations to the regional director of the area in which the
facility is located no later than 10 working days after the date the facility
receives the final, official statement of violations. To be accepted by HHSC, a
plan to correct violations must state when the corrective action will be
completed and must address:
(1) how the
facility will accomplish corrective action for residents directly affected by
the cited violation;
(2) how the
facility will identify other residents who may be affected by the cited
violation; and
(3) how the facility
will avoid having the violation recur.
(g) If a facility fails to submit a plan to
correct violations that meets the requirements of subsection (f) of this
section, HHSC may assess an administrative penalty against the facility in
accordance with §
551.236(a)(7) of
this chapter (relating to Administrative Penalties).
