Official description
Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that each facility shall notify the Department of any incident or accident that results in serious physical harm or injury to a resident (rather than significant physical harm or injury). Provides that a facility is not precluded from reporting any suspected abuse or neglect that must be reported according to the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents Reporting Act. Provides that notification shall be made by phone, by fax, or through the Office of Health Care Regulation LLCS Portal (rather than just through the Office of Health Care Regulation LLCS Portal) to the appropriate regional office of the Department within 24 hours after each reportable incident or accident (rather than with 24 hours after each reportable incident or accident or by the end of the next business day, whichever is later). Requires a narrative summary of each reportable incident or accident to be sent to the Department within 5 business days (rather than 5 days) after the incident or accident.
