Health Surveys Lacking.(New Mexico & The West)
Byline: Jackie Jadrnak Journal Staff Writer
* N.M. official to beef up staff to inspect all sites providing care
Surveyors made it to about 700 of 900 health care agencies last year despite a state mandate that all agencies be inspected annually.
The rest got their licenses renewed without on-site inspections, according to Matthew Gervase, chief of the Health Facility Licensing and Certification Bureau.
While all 24-hour residential centers, such as nursing homes and residential care homes, were inspected, the annual visits lapsed for some services offered in a client's home, such as physical therapy or hospice care.
"Fortunately, we've not had a real big problem in terms of quality," Gervase said. "But the longer you go without a survey visit, the less you can assure the public a facility is complying with standards."
He's hoping to fix that problem next month.
