Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 6, March 26, 2024
A. All ombudsmen and agents of the AAAs, provider agencies and private non-profit organizations shall notify the department's cabinet secretary of any actual or potential conflict of interest within the program of which they have knowledge.
B. The state ombudsman shall determine whether the situation rises to the level of a conflict and, if so, whether appropriate actions must be taken to sufficiently remedy the conflict. A conflict can be sufficiently remedied only where the existence of the conflict does not interfere with any duties of the program, and where the conflict is not likely to alter the perception of the program as an independent advocate for residents.
