| Date | Type | Regulations | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-02-24 | Complaint | 13A.16.03.04C | Corrected |
| Findings: LS observed that the child's medical documentation is inconsistent between the doctor and parent statements. The parent has conflicting written responses for health conditions and medication on the emergency form and the health assessment I. According to the health assessment II form on file, the child does not have any notable health conditions or medication. However, the program has been provided with medication and its required documentation on site. The medication administration document was signed by both the pediatrician and the parent, but the health assessment II was not updated to align with the new diagnosis. The medical documentation is in need of an immediate update to consistently detail the child's medical condition and medication. The program did not check the box yes or no, regarding the update of the health assessment II on the medication administration form. The program will request that the parents and pediatrician complete a new emergency form, health assessment I and health assessment II immediately. The program will submit a copy to OCC immediately. | |||
