VICES
Part I. Texas Department
of Health
Chapter 145. Long Term Care
Subchapter G. Standards for
Nursing Homes that Cover
Licensure and Medicaid Cer-
tification
* 25 TAC 145.111
The Texas Department of Health (depart-
ment) adopts an amendment to 145.111,
with changes to the proposed text as pub-
lished in the August 11, 1992, issue of the
Texas Register (17 TexReg 5617). As a re-
sult of comments received, the department
has also made some changes to the stan-
dards which are adopted by reference in
145. 111. The standards which the depart-
ment adopts by reference are in Texas De-
partment of Human Services rules in 40 TAC
19.1-19.2216.
The department's amendment to 145.111
incorporates TDHS's adopted repeal of exist-
ing 40 TAC 19.2012 and new 40 TAC
19.2201-19.2209 and 19.2211-19.2216,
concerning nursing facility remedies for con-
tract violations being adopted by TDHS in this
issue of the Texas Register to be effective
February 1, 1993. This amendment was re-
proposed because of comments and recom-
mendations by the joint' TDHS and
department committee. By adopting the re-
proposed TDHS repeal and new sections by
reference, the department will utilize the
TDHS rules in 19.2201-19.2209 and 19.
2211-19.2216 as penalty rules for nursing
facilities which participate in the Medicaid
program.
In addition, the department's amendment to
145.111 will incorporate TDHS's adopted
amendments to existing 40 TAC 19.302,
19.810, 19.1401, and 19.1503, concern-
ing transfer and discharge, nursing practices,
infection control, and applicable codes and
standards which were published in the Sep-
tember 22, 1992, issue of the Texas Register
to be effective November 1, 1992. These
amendments correct references to state/fede-
ral laws and health practitioners' licensing
acts or clarify current standard wording.
During the public comment period, the de-
partment received 41 comments to the pro-
posed standards that included comments of
an editorial and clarification nature as well as
substantive comments. Changes made by the
department to the proposed standards for the
purpose of editorial correction or strictly for
clarification will not be addressed individually.
The department is responding individually to
comments on the proposed standards as fol-
lows.
Comment: Concerning the rules generally, a
commenter expressed concern that the separation
of licensure and certification remedies would in-
terfere with the coordination of remedies between
the Texas Department of Human Services and the
Texas Department of Health.* Adopted Sections December 22, 1992 17 TexReg 9033
