John's Law mandates timely reporting and investigation of resident deaths in licensed facilities.
John's Law amends the Health and Safety Code to require licensed facilities to report resident deaths to the department within one working day telephonically and within seven calendar days in writing. The reports must detail the event, actions taken, and follow-up plans. Facilities must also submit any additional relevant information within 30 days. If violations are found, the department issues a written notice of deficiency specifying corrective actions. The law ensures swift and thorough investigations into resident deaths.
