A Focus Reiview is an option when a site visit results in a determination of Non-Verification Pending Further Review.
What causes the determination of Non-Verification Pending Further Review?
Potential criteria deficiencies (CD) ultimately determine verification status. If three or more Type 2 CDs it may result in a determination of Non-Verification Pending Further Review and additional documentation may be requested. Burn Centers have up to a year to submit the documentation. Once submitted and reviewed by the VRC a final determination of (re) verification or non-verification will be made.
What steps does my burn center need to take to request a Focus Review?
Burn centers must correct deficiencies and document the imporvement process in a Focus Reivew PRQ. this must be submited to the ABA within one year aftger the date on the determination letter.
The VRC reviewers will review the Focus Review PRQ along with submitted documentation. The will require either an on-site visit or a virtual visit and concluding that visit they will award a determinatin of Verification or Non-Verification.
