SB804

Oklahoma SB804 mandates rules for long-term care facilities and requires assisted living centers to establish internal quality assurance committees.

Oklahoma SB804 amends the Continuum of Care and Assisted Living Act to direct the State Department of Health to promulgate rules for long-term care facilities. These rules include a uniform resident screening instrument, minimum standards for resident care, and quality outcome measurements. The bill also requires assisted living centers to establish internal quality assurance committees that monitor trends, customer satisfaction, and recommend policies on resident care. The committees must meet quarterly and perform duties directed by the State Commissioner of Health.
