What scope is assigned to non-compliance affecting a limited number of residents and locations?

The scope assigned to non-compliance that affects a limited number of residents and locations is termed "isolated." This classification is used to identify instances where the non-compliance is not pervasive or widespread, but rather occurs in a specific and limited context.

When non-compliance is identified as isolated, it suggests that only a few individuals or particular situations are impacted, which can often be addressed without large-scale corrective actions. This can be critical for organizations as it directs their attention to specific areas needing improvement, rather than suggesting a broader, more encompassing issue that might require systemic changes.

Understanding this classification helps administrators focus their resources effectively and mitigate non-compliance issues in a manner that prevents escalation, ensuring both resident safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
