TX HHS Form 1732-EMR. Management and Training of Service Provider Addendum

The TX HHS Form 1732-EMR, Management and Training of Service Provider Addendum, is an essential document for long-term care employers in Texas, including Consumer Directed Services (CDS) employers. Issued by the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS), this form serves as a notification to new unlicensed employees about the Employee Misconduct Registry (EMR).

The EMR aims to prevent the employment of individuals who have committed acts of abuse, neglect, or exploitation against consumers receiving services from facilities or CDS options. As per 26 Texas Administrative Code TAC), Part 1, Chapter 711 and Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 253, employers are required to inform new unlicensed employees about the EMR and its implications.

This addendum is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations governing the employment of unlicensed personnel in Texas HHS-regulated facilities and certain programs, including CDS. The form also outlines the process for investigating and resolving employee misconduct allegations, as governed by 40 TAC, Part 19, Chapter 705, Subchapter O.
