This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by:
Based on the facility's policy review, Emergency Preparedness (EP) manual review, training guidelines and interview, the facility failed to maintain and update every two years emergency preparedness policies and procedures to address safe evacuation from the facility, staff responsibilities, transportation, and alternate means of communication. The findings included: Review of the facility's policy, "Emergency Preparedness," reviewed 8/7/2019, revealed that "It is the policy of [the named facility] to comply with all Federal, State, and local laws regarding community emergency preparedness and to maintain an emergency preparedness program in compliance with 491.12 Emergency preparedness [regulation]..." Review of the facility's "Required Emergency Preparedness Training" revealed that the RHC "must develop and maintain an emergency preparedness plan that is reviewed and updated annually..." There was no documentation the facility updated its EP policies and procedures every 2 years. During an interview, on 2/9/2026, at 9:15 AM, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) reported that the facility did not have updates available for review.
