What happens if a facility is found non-compliant with the CoP during a survey?

When a facility is found non-compliant with the Conditions of Participation (CoP) during a survey, it is required to address the identified issues and develop a plan of correction. This plan outlines how the facility intends to remedy the situations leading to non-compliance, and it must be submitted to the appropriate regulatory agency for approval.

This process is vital because it emphasizes accountability and improvement in the quality of care provided by the facility. By mandating a corrective action plan, the CoP ensures that facilities take necessary steps to align their operations with established standards, ultimately benefiting patient safety and care quality.

The other options, such as immediate closure or financial rewards, do not reflect the regulatory process following a survey's findings. Similarly, no action being taken contradicts the intent of the CoPs, which is to enforce compliance to ensure safe and effective healthcare delivery.
