HB4868 Enrolled LRB104 18300 BAB 31740 b
1 AN ACT concerning regulation.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Nursing Home Care Act is amended by adding
5 Section 3-610.5 as follows:
6 (210 ILCS 45/3-610.5 new)
7 Sec. 3-610.5. Incident and accident reporting.
8 (a) Each facility shall notify the Department of any
9 incident or accident that results in serious physical harm or
10 injury to a resident or any situation in which a resident
11 requires immediate medical attention, including admission to a
12 hospital, as a direct result of an incident or accident.
13 Nothing in this Section precludes reporting of suspected or
14 alleged abuse or neglect that must be reported according to
15 the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents
16 Reporting Act.
17 (b) Each facility shall, by phone, by email, by fax, or
18 through the Office of Health Care Regulation LLCS Portal,
19 notify the appropriate regional office of the Department
20 within 24 hours after each reportable incident or accident.
21 The facility shall send a narrative summary of each reportable
22 incident or accident to the Department within 5 business days
23 after the incident or accident.

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that each facility shall notify the Department of any incident or accident that results in serious physical harm or injury to a resident (rather than significant physical harm or injury). Provides that a facility is not precluded from reporting any suspected abuse or neglect that must be reported according to the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents Reporting Act. Provides that notification shall be made by phone, by fax, or through the Office of Health Care Regulation LLCS Portal (rather than just through the Office of Health Care Regulation LLCS Portal) to the appropriate regional office of the Department within 24 hours after each reportable incident or accident (rather than with 24 hours after each reportable incident or accident or by the end of the next business day, whichever is later). Requires a narrative summary of each reportable incident or accident to be sent to the Department within 5 business days (rather than 5 days) after the incident or accident.
