CDPH Licensing Support for Chemical Dependency Hospitals

Initial Facility Assessment & Feasibility Analysis

Launching a Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation Hospital requires a thorough understanding of both the regulatory and architectural requirements. Our team works with you from the start to evaluate the feasibility of your facility, ensuring that your location and design meet both state regulations and operational needs. We take into account OSHPD 6 regulations for healthcare facilities and ensure full compliance with HCAI standards for building codes and safety.

We’ll help you with:

• Feasibility Study: A detailed analysis to assess the viability of your facility’s location, target market, and operational structure.
• Site Evaluation: Ensuring your building is zoned correctly for healthcare use and meets any local requirements before starting the design process.
• OSHPD 6 Compliance: Providing guidance on how to design and renovate the building to meet OSHPD 6 (Statewide Health Planning & Development) regulations, which are critical for healthcare facilities in California.
• HCAI Compliance: Ensuring the building meets HCAI (formerly OSHPD) requirements for healthcare construction and patient safety standards.
• Architectural & Facility Design: Working with architects to ensure the building layout and design are compliant with healthcare requirements while optimizing patient care delivery.
• Regulatory Requirements Assessment: Reviewing necessary code requirements for your hospital’s infrastructure, including HVAC systems, emergency exits, room layouts, and compliance with both CDPH and OSHPD regulations.
   

Licensing Application Process

Revive Consulting Group guides you through the CDPH licensing application process, ensuring all documentation is complete and compliant with CDPH and Title 22 regulations. We’ll also ensure that architectural plans are aligned with regulatory requirements, allowing for a seamless application process.

We’ll help you with:

• Complete Application Preparation: Managing and submitting the CDPH Application for Licensure for your Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation Hospital (CDRH-Initial Packet).
• Architectural Plan Approval: Ensuring architectural plans are aligned with HCAI and OSHPD 6 regulations, including facility layout, safety protocols, and compliance with state healthcare building standards.
• Regulatory Documentation: Preparing and submitting all required documentation, including policies, financial plans, staffing models, and building plans.
• Construction and Operational Timelines: Guiding you through the required timelines for construction, inspection, and compliance certification before the opening of the facility.
   

Survey Preparation & Mock Surveys

To pass the CDPH survey and gain operational approval, we offer comprehensive mock surveys to assess your facility’s readiness. This ensures that all aspects of your facility — from patient care practices to architectural safety — are fully compliant with state regulations.

We’ll help you with:

• Mock Survey Simulation: Conducting full-scale mock surveys to test your compliance with CDPH standards, policies, and operational practices.
• OSHPD 6 & HCAI Survey Readiness: Ensuring that your facility meets the specific requirements for healthcare building codes as dictated by OSHPD 6 and HCAI, including physical safety checks, access, and operational readiness.
• Facility Inspection Preparation: Preparing you and your staff for the CDPH survey inspection, including detailed walkthroughs and checklist reviews to address any deficiencies beforehand.
   

Policy & Procedure Development

In addition to ensuring that your Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation Hospital meets CDPH requirements, we help create comprehensive policies and procedures that cover every aspect of your operations. These documents are critical for both survey readiness and ongoing operational compliance.

We’ll help you with:

• Operational Policies: Creating policies on patient admissions, treatment protocols, discharge procedures, and patient rights in compliance with Title 22 and CDPH regulations.
• OSHPD 6-Specific Policies: Drafting building and safety policies in compliance with OSHPD 6 healthcare regulations (e.g., fire safety, accessibility, structural integrity).
• Medication Management: Designing medication storage, administration, and management protocols that comply with CDPH and OSHPD guidelines.
• Emergency & Safety Protocols: Creating comprehensive safety plans, including fire evacuation, patient monitoring, and emergency medical procedures.
• HCAI Compliance: Ensuring that the facility’s physical environment (e.g., patient room layouts, sanitation, and infection control) complies with HCAI guidelines for healthcare facilities.
   

Program Design & Treatment Services

When designing your treatment program, we make sure the Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation Hospital is structured in a way that both meets CDPH and Title 22 requirements and offers effective, compassionate care to patients. We assist you with designing comprehensive treatment services, ensuring you meet OSHPD 6 building and patient safety standards.

We’ll help you with:

• Program Design: Developing treatment models that align with best practices for SUD care, including evidence-based practices.
• Patient Care Protocols: Developing admission, assessment, and discharge procedures that meet CDPH requirements for SUD treatment facilities.
• OSHPD 6-Specific Patient Safety: Ensuring that your facility’s physical design supports optimal patient care, including safety features such as patient access to emergency exits, secure medication storage, and specialized treatment rooms for detox and therapy.
• HCAI Compliance for Facility Safety: Ensuring the facility design includes infection control measures, ventilation systems, sufficient lighting, and fire safety protocols in line with HCAI and OSHPD 6 regulations.
• Staffing & Credentialing: Ensuring your staffing models meet state regulations, and advising on the credentialing process for key treatment providers.

Risk Management & Patient Safety

Ensuring that your Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation Hospital is a safe and compliant environment is critical. We assist with creating and maintaining risk management and patient safety protocols in line with CDPH, HCAI, and OSHPD 6 regulations.

We’ll help you with:

• Safety Plans & Protocols: Developing emergency evacuation procedures, fire safety measures, and overall facility security plans in compliance with OSHPD 6 and HCAI building codes.
• Incident Management: Creating systems for reporting and addressing patient safety incidents, including medication errors, falls, and environmental hazards.
• Risk Mitigation: Helping your facility assess and mitigate risks associated with both patient care and building safety.
   

Survey Readiness & Post-Survey Follow-Up

After your CDPH survey, we help you manage any deficiencies found and ensure that your facility meets all HCAI and OSHPD 6 standards moving forward.

We’ll help you with:

• Corrective Action Plans: If deficiencies are found during the CDPH survey, we’ll help develop and implement a corrective action plan to address the issues.
