Complaints and Incidents
  • / /
  • Overview/ Understanding

    ******************
  • Step 1. Understand GOALS

    (a) Complaints - we must have at least 3 per week (no less). If need be, we will invent some (non important ones)

    (b) Incidents - there is no minimum per week or per month but anything that can be an incident must be documented with (i) Incident form and (ii) Log

    - Incidents: we need at least 1-2 per month

    Step 2. Understand that you are the gatekeeper of what and how we report and document these things, not the RNs nor the office staff nor the CGs
  • 1. Open this

    2. Understand this
  • Step 1. Bal and CMS want to know which complaints are Real/Accurate and which are Created

    Step 2. Go to column called Date for each of the 2 logs

    Step 3. Code them appropriately

    If Created, underline the date field so its clearly underlined

    If Real/Accurate, leave the date field as is (no underline)
  • PROCEDURES

    ******************
  • 1) FORM - Those are to be done on a real time basis on the actual EMF form by the HISC person who actually received the information.

    2) FORM - EDITING - After that, you will discuss with me and Bal to make sure the information is as we need it

    3) LOG - Once the form is perfect, we will then transcribe to the log
  • OPPOSITE

    1) DRAFTING THEM IN THE LOGS - we will add and create in the logs to make sure our numbers are accurate, we will not touch the forms

    2) FINALIZE IN THE LOGS - with accurate names once the T&A report is completed

    3) ACTUAL FORMS - once log is final, then go back and retroactively create the forms
