0002| Chapter 359, Section 5, as amended) is amended to read:
|
0003| "24-1-5. LICENSURE OF HEALTH FACILITIES.--
|
0004| A. No health facility shall be operated without a
|
0005| license issued by the department. If a health facility is found
|
0006| to be operating without a license, in order to protect human
|
0007| health or safety the [director] secretary may issue a
|
0008| cease-and-desist order. The health facility may request a
|
0009| hearing, which shall be held in the manner provided in this
|
0010| section. The department may also proceed pursuant to the Health
|
0011| Facility Receivership Act.
|
0012| B. The department is authorized to make [such]
|
0013| inspections and investigations and to prescribe [such]
|
0014| regulations [as] it deems necessary or desirable to promote
|
0015| the health, safety and welfare of persons utilizing health
|
0016| facilities.
|
0017| C. Except as provided in Subsection F of this
|
0018| section, upon receipt of an application for a license to operate
|
0019| a health facility, the department shall promptly inspect the
|
0020| health facility to determine if it is in compliance with all
|
0021| regulations of the department. Applications for hospital
|
0022| licenses shall include evidence that the bylaws or regulations
|
0023| of the hospital apply equally to osteopathic and medical
|
0024| physicians.
|
0025| D. Upon inspection of any health facility, if the
|
0001| department finds any violation of its regulations, it may deny
|
0002| the application for a license, whether initial or renewal, or it
|
0003| may issue a temporary license. A temporary license shall not be
|
0004| issued for a period exceeding one hundred twenty days, nor shall
|
0005| more than two consecutive temporary
|
0006| licenses be issued.
|
0007| E. A one-year nontransferable license shall be
|
0008| issued to any health facility complying with all regulations of
|
0009| the department. The license shall be renewable for successive
|
0010| one-year periods, upon filing of a renewal application, if the
|
0011| department is satisfied that the health facility is in
|
0012| compliance with all regulations of the department or, if not in
|
0013| compliance with any regulation, has been granted a waiver or
|
0014| variance of that regulation by the department pursuant to
|
0015| procedures, conditions and guidelines adopted by regulation of
|
0016| the department. Licenses shall be posted in a conspicuous place
|
0017| on the licensed premises, except that child-care centers that
|
0018| receive no state or federal funds may apply for and receive from
|
0019| the department a waiver from the requirement that a license be
|
0020| posted or kept on the licensed premises.
|
0021| F. Any health facility that has been inspected and
|
0022| licensed by the department and that has received certification
|
0023| for participation in federal reimbursement programs and that has
|
0024| been fully accredited by the joint commission on accreditation
|
0025| of health care organizations or the American osteopathic
|
0001| association shall be granted a license renewal based on [such]
|
0002| that accreditation. Health facilities receiving less than
|
0003| full accreditation by the joint commission on the accreditation
|
0004| of health care organizations or by the American osteopathic
|
0005| association may be granted a license renewal based on such
|
0006| accreditation. License renewals shall be issued upon
|
0007| application submitted by the facility upon forms prescribed by
|
0008| the department. This subsection does not limit in any way the
|
0009| department's various duties and responsibilities under other
|
0010| provisions of the Public Health Act or under any other
|
0011| subsection of this section, including any of the department's
|
0012| responsibilities for the health and safety of the public.
|
0013| G. The department may charge a reasonable fee not to
|
0014| exceed three dollars ($3.00) per bed for an in-patient health
|
0015| facility or one hundred dollars ($100) for any other health
|
0016| facility for each license application, whether initial or
|
0017| renewal, of an annual license or [renewal] the second
|
0018| consecutive issuance of a temporary license. Fees collected
|
0019| shall not be refundable. All fees collected pursuant to
|
0020| licensure applications shall be deposited with the state
|
0021| treasurer for credit to the general fund.
|
0022| H. The department may revoke or suspend the license
|
0023| of any health facility or may impose on any health facility
|
0024| [after January 1, 1991] any intermediate sanction [or] and
|
0025| civil monetary penalty provided in Section 24-1-5.2 NMSA 1978
|
0001| after notice and an opportunity for a hearing before a hearing
|
0002| officer designated by the department to hear the matter, and
|
0003| except for child-care centers and facilities, may proceed
|
0004| pursuant to the Health Facility Receivership Act, upon a
|
0005| determination that the health facility is not in compliance with
|
0006| any regulation of the department. If immediate action is
|
0007| required to protect human health and safety, the director may
|
0008| suspend [a] any license or impose any intermediate sanction
|
0009| pending a hearing, provided [such] the hearing is held
|
0010| within five working days of the suspension or imposition of the
|
0011| sanction, unless waived by the licensee, and, except for child-care centers and facilities, may proceed ex parte pursuant to
|
0012| the Health Facility Receivership Act.
|
0013| I. The department shall schedule a hearing pursuant
|
0014| to Subsection H of this section if the department receives a
|
0015| request for a hearing from a licensee:
|
0016| (1) within ten working days after receipt by
|
0017| the licensee of notice of suspension, revocation, imposition of
|
0018| an intermediate sanction or civil monetary penalty or denial of
|
0019| an initial or renewal application;
|
0020| (2) within four working days after receipt by
|
0021| the licensee of an emergency suspension order or emergency
|
0022| intermediate sanction imposition and notice of hearing, if the
|
0023| licensee wishes to waive the early hearing scheduled and request
|
0024| a hearing at a later date; or
|
0025| (3) within five working days after receipt of a
|
0001| cease-and-desist order.
|
0002| The department shall also provide timely notice to the
|
0003| licensee of the date, time and place for the hearing, identity
|
0004| of the hearing officer, subject matter of the hearing and
|
0005| alleged violations.
|
0006| J. Any hearing under this section shall be conducted
|
0007| in accordance with adjudicatory hearing rules and procedures
|
0008| adopted by regulation of the department. The licensee has the
|
0009| right to be represented by counsel, to present all relevant
|
0010| evidence by means of witnesses and books, papers, documents,
|
0011| records, files and other evidence and to examine all opposing
|
0012| witnesses who appear on any matter relevant to the issues. The
|
0013| hearing officer has the power to administer oaths on request of
|
0014| any party and issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum prior to
|
0015| or after the commencement of the hearing to compel discovery and
|
0016| the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant
|
0017| books, papers, documents, records, files and other evidence.
|
0018| Documents or records pertaining to abuse, neglect or
|
0019| exploitation of a resident, client or patient of a health
|
0020| facility or other documents, records or files in the custody of
|
0021| the human services department or the office of the state long-term care ombudsman at the state agency on aging that are
|
0022| relevant to the alleged violations are discoverable and
|
0023| admissible as evidence in any hearing.
|
0024| K. Any party may appeal to the court of appeals on
|
0025| the record within thirty days after the final decision of the
|
0001| department. The court shall set aside the final decision only
|
0002| if it is found to be arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of
|
0003| discretion; not supported by substantial evidence in the record;
|
0004| outside the authority of the department; or otherwise not in
|
0005| accordance with law.
|
0006| L. Every complaint about a health facility received
|
0007| by the department pursuant to this section shall be promptly
|
0008| investigated to substantiate the allegation and to take
|
0009| appropriate action if substantiated. The department shall
|
0010| coordinate with the human services department, the office of the
|
0011| state long-term care ombudsman at the state agency on aging and
|
0012| any other appropriate agency to develop a joint protocol
|
0013| establishing responsibilities and procedures to assure prompt
|
0014| investigation of complaints, including prompt and appropriate
|
0015| referrals and necessary action regarding allegations of abuse,
|
0016| neglect or exploitation of residents, clients or patients in a
|
0017| health facility.
|
0018| M. Complaints received by the department pursuant to
|
0019| this section shall not be disclosed publicly in such manner as
|
0020| to identify any individuals or health facilities if upon
|
0021| investigation the complaint is unsubstantiated.
|
0022| N. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
|
0023| section, where there are reasonable grounds to believe that any
|
0024| child is in imminent danger of abuse or neglect while in the
|
0025| care of a child-care facility, whether or not licensed, or upon
|
0001| the receipt of a report pursuant to Section [32-1-15] 32A-4-3 NMSA 1978, the department shall consult with the owner or
|
0002| operator of the child-care facility. Upon a finding of probable
|
0003| cause, the department shall give the owner or operator notice of
|
0004| its intent to suspend operation of the [health] facility and
|
0005| provide an opportunity for a hearing to be held within three
|
0006| working days, unless waived by the owner or operator. Within
|
0007| seven working days from the day of notice, the director shall
|
0008| make his decision, and, if it is determined that any child is in
|
0009| imminent danger of abuse or neglect in the [health] child-care facility, the director may suspend operation of the
|
0010| [health] facility for a period not in excess of fifteen days.
|
0011| Prior to the date of the hearing, the department shall make a
|
0012| reasonable effort to notify the parents of children in the
|
0013| [health] child-care facility of the notice and opportunity
|
0014| for hearing given to the owner or operator.
|
0015| O. Nothing contained in this section or in the
|
0016| Public Health Act shall authorize either the secretary [of
|
health and environment] or the department to make any
|
0018| inspection or investigation or to prescribe any regulations con-
|
0019| cerning group homes as defined in Section 9-8-13 NMSA 1978
|
0020| except [such] as are reasonably necessary or desirable to pro-
|
0021| mote the health and safety of persons utilizing [such] group
|
0022| homes."
