Reporting Requirements for Service Providers
All Regional Center service providers vendors and long-term health care facilities must report occurrences of suspected abuse, suspected neglect, injury requiring medical attention, unplanned hospitalization, and missing persons, if they occur when a Regional Center consumer is receiving services funded by a regional center. (Reference: 17 CCR, Section 54327)
In addition, any occurrence of consumer mortality or a consumer being the victim of a crime must be reported whether or not it occurred while the consumer was under vendored care. (from DDS Semi-Annual Report on Mortality, July-Dec 2009)
