The Department of Community Health was required to provide notice and an opportunity for a hearing prior to only certain administrative actions specified by statute. Therefore, as requiring a facility to submit a plan of correction was not among the administrative actions for which prior notice and an opportunity for a hearing was required, the facility was not entitled to a hearing. Further, the DCH’s action was not equivalent to a Public Reprimand, nor did it impose an undue burden for which a hearing was required pursuant to the Due Process Clause.
