Terms Used In Idaho Code 39-2404

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Board: means the board of health and welfare. See Idaho Code 39-2402
  • Department: means the department of health and welfare. See Idaho Code 39-2402
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Home health agency: means any business entity that primarily provides skilled nursing services by licensed nurses and at least one (1) other health care service to an individual in that individual’s place of residence. See Idaho Code 39-2402
  • Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
(3)  The department may deny any application or revoke any license when persuaded by evidence that such conditions exist as to endanger the health or safety of any patient, or which will violate the patients’ bill of rights, or the home health agency does not meet requirements for licensure to the extent that it hinders its ability to provide quality services that comply with rules and regulations for home health agencies, or the home health agency has a history of repeat deficiencies. Before denial or revocation is final, the department shall provide opportunity for a hearing at which time the owner or sponsor of an agency may appear and show cause why the license should not be denied or revoked. The board shall provide by rule and regulation a procedure whereby a waiver of a specific rule, regulation or standard may be granted in the event that good cause is shown for such a waiver and providing that said waiver does not endanger the health, safety or rights of any patient. The decision to grant a waiver shall not be considered as precedent or be given any force or effect in any other proceeding. Said waiver may be renewed annually if sufficient written justification is presented to the department. Hearings for licensure, including denial and revocation, shall be conducted by the department pursuant to chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, and appeal shall be as provided therein.
