(a) The General Assembly finds that this subchapter is necessary to provide an alternative process to formal judicial or administrative appeals of deficiencies for long-term care facilities as a means for faster, more efficient, and less expensive resolution of disputes concerning deficiencies cited against long-term care facilities.

(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly to provide a process supplemental to formal appeal that is both fair and impartial to all parties to address disputes between facilities and the Office of Long-Term Care when a deficiency is cited against a long-term care facility.
