Report a Claim, Significant Incident, or Medical Record
Request.
- The best opportunity to affect the outcome of an incident is
within the first hours or days after the event occurs. Contact
us to help you manage the circumstances.
- Claims can be made because of poor or lack of meaningful
communication; a perceived indifferent attitude, a failure to
listen, or a failure to follow-up with staff, sponsors, or family.
Promote proactive and effective communication.
- When someone makes an inquiry, complaint or grievance regarding
services, be courteous, listen carefully, observe closely,
convey empathy, don't admit fault, or speculate as to the cause.
Instead, promptly report to the appropriate person to
investigate, determine what happened, in order to resolve the
matter.
- Think Customer Service…The actions you take after a customer
interaction may prevent litigation or cause litigation!
- Do not release any documents requested on a resident before
contacting us and in compliance with applicable HIPAA.
