4.4.2 Non-Credentialed Caregiver Findings of Abuse or Neglect of a Client or Misappropriation of a Client's Property

Information in this section of the IBIS results is provided for findings both from Wisconsin and from out of state. The Wisconsin Caregiver Misconduct Registry is a record of the names of nurse aides and other non-credentialed caregivers who have a substantiated finding of caregiver misconduct (abuse or neglect of a client or misappropriation of a client’s property) made by DQA for reasons specified in the background check law. The Registry identifies each caregiver by name, date of birth and type of caregiver. An individual with a finding of misconduct on the Wisconsin Misconduct Caregiver Registry may not be employed as a caregiver in any entity unless approved through the rehabilitation review process. Federal regulations require that nurse aides with a finding of caregiver misconduct must be permanently barred from working in any capacity in federally regulated nursing homes.
