Vivo Healthcare Gandy: Abuse Response Failures - FL
Federal inspectors reviewed the facility's compliance and ethics program during a January 30 complaint inspection and found that critical fields had never been completed. Where the name and title of the designated compliance contact should have appeared, the document still read "insert job title." Where contact information or a location for that information should have been listed, it read "insert contact information, or location of contact information." The fields for the hotline number, intranet application, or drop box read "hotline number, intranet application, drop box, etc." The locations where compliance reporting information was supposed to be posted read simply "insert locations."
The policy described, in some detail, what a functioning compliance program should look like. Staff were to receive training at orientation and annually. Reports were to be kept confidential. Employees who failed to report known violations faced discipline up to termination. A designated person was to follow up with anyone who made a report. Documentation was to be maintained for a minimum of three years by a specific job title, which the document left blank.
None of those commitments could be acted on by a resident or employee who read the policy as written, because the document did not tell them who to contact, where to go, or how to reach anyone.
The deficiency was classified as affecting many residents, with minimal harm.
What inspectors found was not a program that had broken down. It was a template that had never been finished, posted under the name of a facility where people live, and where staff are expected to know what to do when something goes wrong.
