| Findings: During a review of all of the children's records, it was found that three out of the 16 children do not have evidence of any blood lead testing. Please inform the parents of the need for this so that they may give you the results if it has already been performed or so that they may schedule their respective child for blood lead testing. Written notification to the parents and shared with OCC may suffice to correct the non-compliance. This is with the understanding that the Center will obtain the test results and place them in the children's files. | |||

| Findings: During a review of all children's files, it was found that six children are missing all of their physician's information on their emergency form. One child is missing his physician's address; another child is missing her physician's phone number and address and another child is missing his parent's signature and date on the bottom of the emergency form. Two children's emergency forms have not been updated in over a year. Please inform the parents of the missing information on their respective child's emergency form so that they may add the information, initial and date it to indicate the updated information. Please inform the two parents that their child's emergency form needs to be updated, indicated by their initials and date. A copy of the Child Health Record Review was left at the Center so they will know which child is missing what information. Please send the updated emergency forms to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||
