Inspection Findings Trend 5

• Clear downward trend in number of green ROP inspection findings began in 2015 through 2020, but has increased each of the past two years

• The average number of findings per site decreased by approximately 1.5 findings per site each year from 2015 through 2020

• In CY 2022, the ROP had approximately 6.8 findings per site (4.0 findings per unit),

comparable to the number of green findings issued in 2019 0
