Special Incident Reporting
Special Incident Reporting
WRC requests that vendors or Long-Term Care providers complete a form for known or suspected cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) among clients and/ or the staff who support them in Residential, Long-Term Care Supported Living or Independent Living. This does not replace the SIR form; it is a supplemental form to track COVID-19.
Beginning March 14, 2022, the requirements for completing COVID-19 special incident reports (SIRs) as specified in the Department’s May 22, 2020 Directive are amended as follows:
Service providers and regional centers should only report COVID-19 related incidents that meet the amended requirements above, and clearly indicate in each SIR a description of which reporting requirement applies. For clarity:
Providers and regional centers should only report COVID-19 related incidents that meet these requirements and clearly indicate in the incident description box the reporting criteria met. If you have any questions regarding this Directive, please contact Leslie Morrison at (916) 214-3706 or lesliemorrison@dds.ca.gov .
