2020-01-14 Non Compliance 14U - Notification to OCCL Corrected
Corrective Action: On October 15, 2019, Child #1 was hit in the eye by another child while playing on the playground. An accident report was completed, however, there was no documentation that the parent was immediately notified. The parent took Child #1 to Med Express to follow up with a doctor. The administrator did not notify OCCL of this injury. During the investigation visit, the licensing specialist reviewed with Staff #1 that all injuries that result in the child going to see the doctor must be reported to OCCL within one business day of the accident. In addition, notification attempts must be documented and happen as soon as the child has received first aid or after the child has been examined for injuries that may have occurred.
