If an injury occurs at the day program that resulted in treatment at an area hospital, is the residential agency responsible for conducting the internal investigation?
A. In this irregular situation, the day program would investigate and communicate its findings to the residential program. The residential agency may need to continue treatment as recommended by the treating licensed health care practitioner. If the residential agency is not satisfied that the incident was handled appropriately, it too can bring the incident to the attention of OHCQ and the appropriate DDA regional office for follow-up and to assure that the injury was reported.
