Another form of evaluation involves Incident Reporting. Incident Reports are to be completed (but not
limited to) anytime alleged, suspected, or actual abuse, neglect, or exploitation occurs; anytime injury occurs,
anytime death occurs, anytime structural or environmental problems threaten the health and safety of an
individual, anytime a fire occurs at the site of service delivery, anytime elopement occurs, anytime alleged,
suspected, or actual criminal activity by an employee of Assisted Independence, anytime a medication error
occurs, anytime a physical or mechanical restraint is used, anytime an individual has a fall, or any unusual
incident that may affect the health, wellness, and functioning of an individual.
Find a complete list of reportable incidents in the AccelTrax Incident Reporting drop-down menus under “Type” and “Category”. This includes when you, the Recreational Therapist, are not present with the individual at the time of the incident.
So, regardless of your presence, if you are made aware of an incident, you must report the incident. The
Recreational Therapist must submit the Incident Report through AccelTrax within 24 hours of discovery of the
incident. The Director of Recreational Therapy will submit the final Incident Report to the Division of Disability
and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS). Assisted Independence conducts quality assurance checks by aggregating
and reviewing Incident Reports to determine actions steps to prevent future incidents.
