ISDH Planning to Require Online Submission of Incidents

In May of 2014 the ISDH rolled out the online Incident Reporting System and it has been used on a voluntary basis by nursing facilities since it was released.  The May 2014 ISDH Newsletter discusses the system, which is part of the Survey Report System facilities currently use.  Initial kinks in the system concerning log-ins, the website timing out, and accessing previously saved incidents that have not been submitted have been worked out .

The ISDH wants to make the online Incident Report System mandatory this year, likely in the May or June.  Before it does this, however, the ISDH is asking for additional feedback on any problems with the system or suggestions on how to improve it.   Please email any issues or suggestions you may have to Zach Cattell at zcattell@ihca.org or call 317-616-9001.
