  11. Frequently Asked Questions: • When should I report? Within the next business day of an incident. Follow up later if more information is available. • Who should report? All providers serving Beaver County residents. • Do I have to complete all the fields? Yes. This helps us identify the person in the system. • Should a supervisor review the incident report before sending it to the county? Yes. This will ensure it is complete, legible and tells what happened. • Who can I contact with questions or to get forms? Elisia Majors or Stephanie Santoro 724-847-6225 http://www.bc-systemofcare.org/incident-reporting/

  12. Helpful Hints: • Type or print legibly. • The date of the incident is the date the incident started. • An incident might cover several dates. Use the start date but include the details and additional dates in the body of the report. • Choosing a category: • What take highest priority? - use your best judgement* • Not sure, talk to your supervisor - Call Elisia or Stephanie • Include the symptoms that lead to an ER visit and/or inpatient behavioral health admission • What happened? Don’t leave the reader wondering. • Hospital is not a type of housing • Use relationships not names. (other than the member’s name) • *Phone number is the number of the provider/program where supervisor/staff can be reached to answer any questions.

  13. Communication: Why is communication so important? • Continuity • Many people are served by multiple systems and levels of care. • Talk to each other about the individual, incidents and reporting requirements. • Can’t report on time? • Talk to the county. Make them aware of the incident and obstacles to reporting. They will work with you.
