The revised Long-Term Care Regulation Provider Letter outlines the incident reporting requirements for various healthcare facilities, including nursing homes. Providers must report incidents to the HHSC Complaint and Incident Intake (CII), conduct a thorough investigation, and submit a Provider Investigation Report (PIR) within the specified time frame. The letter details the information that should be included in the initial report and PIR, such as names, facility ID numbers, addresses, and a detailed narrative of the incident. Providers can report incidents online through the TULIP system or by calling a designated number. They must also submit a PIR using the appropriate HHSC form for their provider type. The letter emphasizes the importance of providing as much information as possible in the initial report to facilitate accurate prioritization and management of incidents. Healthcare facilities should familiarize themselves with these updated requirements and ensure they are following the proper procedures for incident reporting.
