§ 248A.2515. SYSTEM FOR ASSESSMENT OF PENALTY.
Official statutory text
The commission shall develop and use a system to record and track the scope and severity of each violation of this chapter or a rule or standard adopted or order issued under this chapter for the purpose of assessing an administrative penalty for the violation or taking some other enforcement action against the appropriate center to deter future violations. The system:
(1) must be comparable to the system used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to categorize the scope and severity of violations for nursing homes; and
(2) may be modified, as appropriate, to reflect changes in industry practice or changes made to the system used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
