APM.9242. Inspection of Safeguarding Procedures

[OAC 5101-9-25]

The IRS conducts on-site reviews of safeguards at least once every five years, and recommends that periodic inspections should be conducted during the year to ascertain that safeguards are adequate. ODHS staff will inspect each CDHS not less than once per year to ascertain that safeguards of FTI disclosed per Section 9251 are adequate. ODHS reviewers will review a sample of case records, CRIS-E running record comments, and general safeguarding procedures for possible safeguarding violations.

A record will be made of each inspection, citing the findings (deficiencies) as well as recommendations and corrective actions taken where appropriate. CDHS have 45 days from the date they are notified of the deficiencies to correct these deficiencies.
