Action | Licensed Adult Day Care Centers Regulation Comprehensive Revision |
Stage | Final |
Comment Period | Ended on 10/30/2019 |
Section 22 VAC 40-61-90 F provides that incident reports are to be included in the participant's record. In health care facilities these are normally business records. As the incident pertains to a participant, a note is made in the participant's chart. This is the better practice. The IR may include information about other participants or other persons that is not necessary and would not be appropriately shared.
I recommend that 22 VAC 40-61-90 F be stricken from the regulation.
