35-2-907. Inspection of licensed establishments; exceptions; assisted living facility inspection procedure.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section every licensed health care facility shall be periodically inspected by the division under rules and regulations promulgated by the department. A licensed health care facility which has been accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting body approved by federal regulations shall be granted a license renewal without further inspection. Inspection reports shall be prepared on forms prescribed by the division. Licensees accredited by the nationally recognized accrediting body shall submit the inspection report pursuant to its accreditation. If the standards of the nationally recognized accrediting body fail to meet or exceed the state standards for licensure, the division may inspect the licensed facility with regard to those matters which did not meet state standards.
(b) Except as required in administrative and judicial proceedings, information obtained from licensees under this act is subject to public disclosure only after deletion of information which reveals the identity of patients, persons who file complaints with the division and employees of the health care facility.
(c) The division shall:
(i) Provide for the selection of an inspector to inspect and evaluate an applicant for an assisted living facility;
(ii) Approve and establish a fee to be paid by the applicant to the selected inspector. The division shall notify the applicant of the inspection fee prior to the inspection and evaluation;
