14 programs cited for policies and procedures gaps in 90 days: 5 in the last 30
Policies and procedures citations are clustering across Minnesota SUD programs, with 68 findings across 14 programs in the last 90 days and 5 programs cited in the last 30 days alone. The most common patterns in this cluster involve missing or unposted written protocols, particularly standing orders for on-site opiate antagonists and required postings for abuse prevention plans, grievance procedures, and vulnerable adult reporting policies. Most findings were corrected on site, which suggests the underlying documents exist but are not consistently maintained or displayed.
