Plan of Correction
WVADS, Inc. now has 2 Clinical Supervisors on staff. As the department is aware, WVADS, Inc. holds weekly staff meetings. In these staff meetings, the Supervisors will re-iterate to each staff member that 25 hours of training is required for each year. Additionally, the Clinical Supervisors will conduct quarterly audits on each clinicians training manuals. This will ensure that each clinician is on pace to meet the 25 hour training requirement. Finally, Supervisors will inform clinicians of upcoming training opportunities in each staff meeting. |
