Plan of Correction
At this reporting time the Facility Director has been in contact with DOH, DDAP, and other local providers to seek trainings on TB/STD's. Several are full at this time. The Facility Director is also seeking STD/TB curriculum that meets DDAP standards in the event there are no available trainings. The facility director will ensure that the counselor does obtain the required training hrs in STD/TB as soon as something becomes available. This deficiency will be met by March 2014. |
