____   Other (explain: ___________________________________________________



The monitoring was conducted utilizing random sampling methodology and a standard instrument that was adopted specifically for this contract.       



Summary of Findings:



During the monitoring review, the team identified the following findings.



Performance Measures



A total of 34 performance measures were applicable for this monitoring review.   We found that 17 performance measures reviewed did not meet the required standard in the contract. See attachment A for a detailed list of these 17 measures.  A list of all 34 measures reviewed is provided in attachment B.



The findings of PM-020, 021, and 025 show that the facility completed all steps in processing the consults, however, due to the pandemic, specialists were non-responsive in scheduling. These findings will not require a CAP and financial consequences will not be assessed.  



Required Contractor Corrective Action:



In accordance with the Contract Monitoring Plan, the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) should be submitted 10 days following the receipt of the final monitoring report.



The CAP closure is expected within 90 calendar days from the date-of-receipt of a written monitoring report.  For all other Corrective Action Plan requirements, see Section II., W. of the contract.



A CAP folder should be maintained at the institution to track progress and keep closure records.  Supporting documentation of training should include:  training attendance sign-in sheets, name of the trainer, documents used for the training, and any documentation from medical records to document that the training corrected the issue or finding.
