In lieu of termination in situations where the ADHP is not in compliance with programmatic requirements, but participants are not in immediate jeopardy, DHCF may require an ADHP to implement Directed In-Service Training (DIST) for deficiencies determined by the District to be correctable through education. This alternative sanction shall require the staff and relevant employees of the ADHP to attend in-service trainings and demonstrate competency in the knowledge and skills presented during the trainings.
DHCF shall develop the areas for ADHP staff and employee training by incorporating the findings from the annual Provider Readiness Review.
Providers shall use training programs developed by well-established organizations with prior experience and expertise in training adult day providers, services. All programs and personnel used to deliver the training shall be approved by DHCF prior to their use.
The ADHP shall bear the expense of the DIST.
A monitor from DHCF's HCDMA shall oversee implementation of DIST, and shall ensure compliance with the requirements.
DHCF may terminate the provider agreement of an ADHP that is unable to meet the timeline for full and successful completion of the DIST.
