In Health Care
   "Constant Vigilance"

         is the Answer...

Continued (Page 3 of 3)

(2)  The second part of the "Formal Charges" was the information about a State employee involved in the enforcement process who filed his own "Friend of the Court" Brief supposedly on behalf of the appointed board - when the Board obviously was never informed, asked for permission, or approved any such action.

There was so much written material submitted, and there were twenty-one (21) Board members, plus staff, that  I put the whole report on a CD.  If you want one click here.   As this is the second article in a series of upcoming articles, you may want to get one so you can follow along. 

What was the point?

The point was that despite the actions of the "Enforcement Monitor," and the lengthy report generated, care must be taken to CONSTANTLY MONITOR the actions of the enforcement staff - or they'll obviously go right back off on their own once again.

The appointed Board made a motion requiring the staff to agendize this issue for the next meeting.  I'll be there, as will others, to deal with this issue.   If you want to be there, too, click HERE to send us an email and we'll keep you updated. 

In health care "constant vigilance" is the answer.

Stay tuned...
