Incident Reporting Policy
This Incident Reporting Policy defines the type of incidents that must be reported and the process all waiver service providers must follow for reporting, investigating, reviewing and tracking the two categories of incidents involving waiver participants:
- Serious Reportable Incidents (SRI); and
- Recordable Incidents
The Quality Management Specialist (QMS) is the administrator of the Serious Reportable Incident process assuring the process is initiated, investigated and completed in a timely manner, outcomes are appropriate and waiver service provider follow-up is conducted. This section also defines the responsibilities of the Regional Resource Development Specialist (RRDS), Service Coordinator and other waiver service providers, and DOH Waiver Management staff (WMS) in the investigation process.
The waiver service provider will be responsible for the management of Recordable Incident reports and related investigation processes.
