Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 9.5.

Reviewer quality improvement.

The Department must implement a
reviewer performance improvement program for hospital survey, inspection, and
investigation staff.  The Department must also,
on a quarterly basis, assess whether
its surveyors, inspectors, and investigators: (i) apply the same protocols and
criteria consistently to substantially similar situations; (ii) reach similar
findings and conclusions when reviewing substantially similar situations; (iii)
conduct surveys, inspections, or investigations in a professional manner; and
(iv) comply with the provisions of this Act.  The Department must also
implement continuing education programs for its surveyors, inspectors, and
investigators pursuant to the findings of the performance improvement
program.
