Section 192.2495, RSMo, requires regulated health care employers, such as long-term care facilities, hospitals, home health agencies, in-home services providers and consumer directed services programs under contract with the Department of Health and Senior Services, hospices, and adult day care providers to obtain a background screening prior to hiring an employee. For in-home services providers, consumer directed services providers and home health agencies, this includes checking the Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR) (Sections 210.900 - 210.936, RSMo.). This statute states that an individual with a certain type of finding identified in his or her background screening cannot be hired by these employers. However, in certain circumstances, the individual has the right to apply for a GCW that, if granted, would waive the legal hiring restriction and allow him or her to be employed.
