Summary

The facility failed to obtain a signed Acknowledgment and Consent for Fingerprinting and Disclosure of Criminal History Record Information consent form, known as Criminal History Record Check form 102, for two out of five employees reviewed during the recertification survey. The facility's policy, revised in November 2018, requires the Director of Human Resources or a designee to obtain this signed authorization from prospective employees. However, there was no documented evidence that Employees #28 and #29 had completed and signed the required form. During an interview, the Human Resources Director confirmed that the forms for these employees were not completed and acknowledged gaps in the policy that needed addressing to prevent future occurrences.
