Abstract:
The State Annual Long-Term Care Ombudsman Report is needed to comply with Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA) reporting requirements in the Older Americans Act (OAA); and 45 CFR ยง1324.21(b) (1) and (b)(2)(v). The long-term care ombudsman report is used to measure the services and strategies that are provided to assist residents in the protection of their health, safety, welfare or rights; advocate at the state and federal levels for changes needed to improve the quality of life and care in long-term care facilities; and effectively manage the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program at the state and federal level. The National Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS) was developed in response to these needs and directives. Section 712(c) of the OAA requires the state agency to establish a statewide uniform reporting system to: (1) Collect and analyze data relating to resident complaints and conditions in long-term care facilities for the purpose of identifying and resolving significant problems. and (2) Submit the data on a regular basis to the state licensing/certifying agency, other state and federal entities that the Ombudsman determines to be appropriate, the Assistant Secretary for Aging, and the National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center.
