AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Nursing Home Care Act is amended by changing |
Section 3-421 as follows:
|
(210 ILCS 45/3-421) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4153-421)
|
Sec. 3-421. In any transfer or discharge conducted under |
subsection (e)
of Section 3-415, the Department shall notify |
the facility and any resident
to be removed that an emergency |
has been found to exist and removal
has been ordered, and shall |
involve the residents in removal planning if
possible. With the |
consent of the resident or his or her representative, the |
facility must inform the resident's designated case |
coordination unit, as defined in 89 Ill. Adm. Code 240.260, of |
the resident's pending discharge and must provide the resident |
or his or her representative with the case coordination unit's |
telephone number and other contact information. Following |
emergency removal, the Department shall provide written
notice |
to the facility, to the resident, to the resident's |
representative,
if any, and to a member of the resident's |
family, where practicable, of
the basis for the finding that an |
emergency existed and of the right to
challenge removal under |
Section 3-422.
