Purpose and Reason:

The Rhode Island Department of Health (“RIDOH”; “The Department”) is proposing to amend Licensing Nursing Service Agencies (216-RICR-40-10-10) to implement the required provisions of Public Law 23-102. 

In addition to the requirements of the statute, RIDOH is proposing the following amendments:

- Requiring RIDOH to provide a notice of all deficiencies reported as a result of an inspection or investigation, and
- Requiring that if an employee has been found to have a quality-of-care violation or substandard quality of care deficiency, the nursing service agency must provide re-education pursuant to the nursing service agency’s policy on training, including a re-evaluation of competency. The re-education must also be documented in the employee’s personnel file.
