(a) The county MH/MR program is to submit to his respective regional office a semiannual qualitative report on June 1 and December 1 of each year. A general template will be disseminated by OMR which will give structure to the design of the county's qualitative semi-annual report. The report is to describe the analysis of all incidents for individuals registered with the county mental retardation program. The county is to explain the systemic interventions implemented and document instructions to providers that will improve the health and safety protections afforded to the individuals served. Supporting data is to be included with the report. Training on this template will occur prior to the first semi-annual report due date.
(b) OMR will review data on all reported incidents at least semiannually to determine what trends may be developing Statewide, or by county, and take appropriate administrative steps to intervene. OMR will issue an annual report reviewing statewide incident trends.
