Summary

(1) Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation by the State Department of Public Health of health care facilities, including long-term health care facilities, as defined. Existing law establishes procedures to be followed when the department receives a written or oral complaint about a long-term health care facility. A complaint is defined to mean any notice to the department, other than a report from the facility, of an alleged violation of applicable requirements of state or federal law or any alleged facts that might constitute a violation. This bill, on or before July 1, 2015, would require the department to set a performance benchmark for completing its investigations within a defined number of days after receiving the complaint, not to exceed 60 working days. The bill would require the department, if it extends an investigation beyond the number of days specified in the benchmark, to notify the complainant, in writing, of the basis for the extension. The bill would require, effective July 1, 2015, and upon request of the complainant, that the department provide specific findings concerning an alleged violation, and include a summary of the evidence upon which the determination is based. The bill would require the department to comply with those specified time periods established for investigations and inspections of complaints from a facility of an alleged violation of applicable requirements of state or federal law or any alleged facts that may constitute an alleged violation of these requirements. The bill would require the department to analyze its compliance with the benchmark in its annual system and staffing analysis, to make that analysis available to the relevant fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature, and to post it on the department's Internet Web site. (2) Existing law provides the complainant with 5 business days after receipt of the notice of the department's determination in which to request an informal conference. This bill would, instead, provide the complainant with 15 days after receipt of the notice in which to request an informal conference.
