There is an
upcoming vacancy for a facility representative on the Long-term Care (LTC)
Informal Dispute Resolution (IDR) Committee. This 7-member committee includes
representatives from facilities and various state agencies, including the
Ombudsman and the Division’s Nursing Facilities LTC program. The committee
generally meets the first Tuesday of each month to review, in accordance with
Sections 7212 of the State Operations Manual, facility challenges to the
evidence surrounding disputed deficiencies.
Facility
representatives must hold the position of administrator, nursing director, or
clinical consultant (without broad involvement in multiple facilities), and
must have at least 6 months experience in their position at their current
facility. We encourage facility
representatives outside the Denver area to apply; committee members may, on
occasion, participate by phone.
Facility
representatives generally serve on the committee for two years. Each
representative has an alternate with whom they may share voting
responsibilities.
Interested
facility representatives may submit inquiries or send a resume to elaine.sabyan@state.co.us. Resumes
will be collected through 11/2/17.
