Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance
Nursing homes and other healthcare facilities must develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure reporting of crimes occurring in their facilities, in accordance with section 1150B of the Act. This includes providing annual notifications to each covered individual of their obligation to report any reasonable suspicion of a crime against a resident or individual receiving care from the facility. In addition, they must report alleged violations related to mistreatment, exploitation, neglect, or abuse, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident property, and report the results of all investigations to the proper authorities within prescribed timeframes. Additionally, they should ensure that all staff are aware of and support reporting requirements, and protect residents from any potential retaliation. The facility should also exercise caution when handling materials that may be used for evidence or for a criminal investigation.
