Incident Management for the Office of Children, Youth and Families Incident Management State-wide Implementation Overview May/June 2007
What Are We Doing? • Utilizing one of the DPW’s current systems (HCSIS) to support on-line reporting of reportable incidents within the OCYF • Taking the base system (HCSIS) and modifying it to meet OCYF needs for reporting: • Workflow • Language/field labels • System roles • Capturing Self-Reported incidents for Foster Family Care Agencies & Residential Facilities (Regulations 3130, 3700 & 3800) The goal is to use HCSIS to replace our manual, paper-based process for incident reporting
It’s All About The Benefits… An online incident management system will bring many benefits: • Decreased duplication of reporting • Increased efficiency • Standardized processes • Improved ability to provide technical assistance to counties • Improved ability to provide technical assistance to our provider network Implementing this system is a critical step in supporting our ability to assure the safety of the children and youth we serve
Who Has Helped Get Us This Far? • Department of Public Welfare • Office of Policy Development • Office of Children, Youth and Families • Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services • Office of Administration • Juvenile Court Judges Commission • County Commissioners Association • Pennsylvania Children and Youth Administrators • Juvenile Detention Centers Association • Pennsylvania Council of Children, Youth and Families Services • Pennsylvania Community Providers Association • Allegheny Department of Human Services Stakeholder participation is critical to the success of this process
What Is HCSIS? • The Department of Public Welfare’s Home and Community Services Information System supporting PA’s HCBS Programs and MA Waivers • Web-enabled System: The system can be accessed by authorized users from any computer with access to the internet. • Access is crafted based on need: Access to the system is based on defined roles and need. • Central Information System: Information entered into the system from the field is accessible in real-time at the central office as required
Who Currently Uses HCSIS For Incident Management? • Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) • The on-line automated system supports Incident Management for individuals in State Centers, ICF/MR’s and in the community • All county MH/MR programs and Supports Coordination entities are currently using system and has been operational for 3 1/2 years • The Incident Management module contains demographic information for 56,000 individuals and 800 provider records • Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) • OMHSAS is live as of 11/1/2006 • 83 LTSR and CRR Providers (Adults)
OCYF Incident Management Workflow & Structure We understand that provider agencies are different; some will have a person who identifies the incident report it, others will centralize the process
Implementation Overview OCYF Incident Management implementation will occur in two major phases: • Pilot • 10 providers and 40 provider facilities Northeast Region • GO-LIVE date: May 7th • State-wide • Target GO-LIVE date: mid-July
State-wide Roll-out Strategy • Using the “Big Bang” approach • Giving operational access to all Regions, Counties, Providers at the same time • Implementation activities: • Communications • Readiness Activities • Training • Support Implementation activities focus on properly preparing organizations to set themselves up to use the OCYF IM system
