Abstract

This dataset provides a list of all nursing homes that were issued citations by the Health Regulation and Licensing Administration between the years of 2003 and 2008. The list indicates the fines paid and the statutes violated as part of these enforcement actions. As part of the Health Regulation and Licensing Administration (HRLA), the Health Care Facilities Division (HCFD) inspects, monitors, and investigates hospitals and other health care sites in the District of Columbia. Facilities include nursing homes, home health agencies, end-stage renal disease facilities, laboratories, and intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded. HCFD ensures that these sites comply with federal standards for participation in Medicare and Medicaid under Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act. HCFD also ensures that sites comply with District licensure, health and safety regulations. Additional information about the Health Care Facilities Division and their enforcement actions may be found on the HRLA website.
