| 09/23/2024 | Bright Home Board & Care/ Sweet Angels Board & Care | Suggestions: 1.) There should be only 1 SIR form to be used to report incidents for both CCL and Regional Center. 2.) The reportable incidents should also be the same as CCL’s to avoid confusion. 3.) Emailing of incident reports can be sent at once to both CCL and Regional Center by copy furnishing all the people concerned for faster delivery. |
| 09/20/2024 | Jolie Kanat | The SIR is a vital element of protection for the people we support and sometmes for our staff as well. One challenge is that we are not fully funded in our 15% administrative allocation to train staff, attend meetings, have staff attend Regional Center training meetings, hire staff who can recognize or fully articulate how to report, educate staff on reporting, and definitely not time to fill out lengthy forms. Here are some ideas that perhaps can be considered. 1. Let's have a clear, simple (fifth-grade level language and guidelines for example) online form that anyone can easily access, fill out and submit. 2. Let's understand where these reports land and who resolves them and what the communication process is. We have had an RC executive refuse to file a report because she disagreed with it. 3. Let's incorporate the reports into all Regional Center referral packets so that we have an historical understanding of challenges. Thank you for all you do! |
