Incident Management
All incidents require some level of investigation. The level of investigation and follow-up should be commensurate with the seriousness and circumstances associated with the incident. It is recommended that a Special Investigation be performed for designated serious incident categories. In addition, serious incidents that meet the criteria to be considered a Sentinel Event would require that a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) be completed in addition to a Special Investigation.
Please refer to the OMH 524 Regulations and Incident Management Field Guide (pdf) for guidance.
