Policies

Complaints & Concerns

Patients and families are informed upon admission of their rights and the procedure to file a concern or complaint. Concerns are responded to as soon as possible for any emergent concerns and resolved through the Customer Service Recovery Process within five business days or sooner if possible.

All concerns are documented on a Concern Recovery Form and forwarded to the appropriate staff member who will promptly share them with relevant supervisors and or the Chief Executive Officer and ensure tracking is completed for Performance Improvement. Performance Improvement data will be shared with the Board of Directors during quarterly meetings.

The Customer Service Recovery Process is how Compassionate Care Plus responds to concerns and uses them as opportunities to examine our process, policy, practice, and staff education needs.

Non-Discrimination

CCP is committed to providing care that respects the unique needs, preferences, and backgrounds of each patient and family. We make reasonable accommodations for individuals with special communication, cultural, spiritual, emotional, psychosocial, or physical needs. This may include accommodations related to hearing or vision impairments, language barriers, literacy needs, religious practices, cultural preferences, or other circumstances that require individualized support. Identified needs are incorporated into the patient’s plan of care.

Federal and state anti-discrimination laws, including applicable civil rights and fair employment laws, prohibit discrimination in employment practices. CCP complies with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations and is committed to maintaining a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Any employee who believes they have experienced unlawful discrimination, including harassment, by a coworker, supervisor, manager, physician, volunteer, or agent of CCP should report the incident as soon as possible to their supervisor or the Chief Executive Officer. Reports will be reviewed promptly, investigated as appropriate, and addressed through corrective action when warranted.
