Management of Incidents Policy

There are specific steps that must be followed when reporting incidents, abuse, and serious notable occurrences.

Each person served has the right to receive care and treatment that is suited to their needs that is skillfully, safely, and humanely administered with full respect for their dignity and personal integrity. Should an accident, injury or other untoward event occur, the event shall immediately be reported, documented and thoroughly investigated.
