The Abuse Prohibition Investigative Protocol is required for every long-term care standard survey and
includes the following steps:



1. Obtain and Review Policies & Procedures

protection, and reporting/response.

- Note that these components may not be consolidated into a single document.

- These individuals should be accountable for evaluating how each component is operationalized.



Interview Questions:

fear of reprisal?

Note: Reporting requirements at §483.13(c)(2), (c)(4), F225 include notifying the State Survey Agency
of both the alleged violation and results of the subsequent investigation.
