Funding Sources
Expenditures and revenues are not always equal. Revenue needs and fee amounts are based on estimated expenses and numbers of revenue payers. These estimates may vary from actual expenses and numbers of payers. Revenue collected that exceeds expenditures remains with the agency and is considered when calculating total revenue needed for the following year.

The Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators is cash-funded from fees pursuant to Colorado statute. Fees are paid for registration and licensing of nursing home administrators.

Fee amounts are established annually for the purpose of covering direct and indirect costs incurred by the Board for licensing and enforcement.

Trends

There will be ongoing regulation in health related professions, with increasing efforts to get impaired practitioners into treatment programs or out of the profession.

Expanding consumer awareness has resulted in increases in complaints filed against health care practitioners. This trend is expected to continue.

There is an ongoing trend to reduce unnecessary or burdensome regulatory barriers to licensing and endorsement of nursing home administrators by promoting and allowing all qualified nursing home administrators to practice in Colorado.

The increasing impact of electronic media, including the Internet, is positively impacting the regulatory process. Nursing Home Administrators may now renew licenses, change addresses online, and check the status of pending licensing applications.
