This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by:
Based on interview with the facility's office manager and document review of the emergency preparedness plan the policies and procedures in the facility's evacuation plan does not consider, the care of evacuees, the means of transportation or primary/alternate means of communication with outside sources of assistance, as required. Without these considerations there are no contingencies for the needs of staff and patients and no transportation is provided in the event the facility cannot be occupied. No methods or information for contacting outside assistance is provided. This could affect all of the facility's patients and staff.



Findings:



On February 1, 2019, between approximately 1PM and 330PM, during the review of the facility's emergency preparedness program no policies or procedures, associated with the safe evacuation of the facility were observed that consider the care needs of evacuees, transportation and primary/alternate means of communications with external sources of information. The office manager said that there were no other emergency preparedness policies and procedures.
