I am currently filing out my ahca renewal application. There are many changes and the form and I do not find it user friendly. Anyways here my question: Medical directors and chief finicial officers or any person who stands to gain profit must undergo a level 2 background screeening. On the new app is states all empolyees and health care providers. I called acha licensing division and they said only directors and so forth. But, on ahca website statue 408(something, ill have to get exact number) when into effect in 2010 that says all employees and newly hired employees must underground background screening. So does all the arnp, pa, ht, and ma's need to be screened because we have a lab? Nicole Tatum, HT ASCP http://ahca.myflorida.com/mchq/long_term_care/Background_Screening/BGS_W hoRequiredToBeScreened.pdf taken directly from ahca site: Employees and Contractors employed before August 1, 2010 Every employee/contractor must attest to meeting the requirements of this chapter and agreeing to inform the employer immediately if arrested for any of the disqualifying offenses while employed by the employer. [Section 435.05(2)]. This attestation must be maintained in the employee's personnel file. You may use the Affidavit of Compliance with Background Screening to satisfy the attestation requirement. If an employer becomes aware that an employee/contractor has been arrested for a disqualifying offense, the employer must remove the employee/contractor from contact with any vulnerable person that places the employee/contractor in a role that requires background screening until the arrest is resolved in a way that the employer determines that the employee/contractor is still eligible for employment/contracting under this chapter. [Section 435.06(2)(b)] Rescreening _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
