Section 6000.902 - Purpose

The purpose of this subchapter is to specify the guidelines and procedures for the incident management process. The incident management process is a subset of a larger risk management process. Incident policies, procedures, training, response and reporting are all important components of the incident management process. Combined with other areas of risk assessment such as employee injuries, complaints, satisfaction surveys and hiring practices, incident management is an essential component of a comprehensive quality management process. See Appendix E (relating to incident management components).
