This presentation will provide an overview of the NYS Justice Center, statutory and regulatory definitions for incident reporting, and other relevant State law changes. The legal and ethical requirements for reporting incidents to the NYS Justice Center, OASAS Credentialing unit, and other entities as appropriate will be discussed.
The Justice Center’s goal is to prevent mistreatment of people with special needs and make sure that all reports of abuse and/or neglect are fully investigated.
Providers must call the Justice Center Mortality Review Line at (855) 373- 2124 to make an initial report, and then submit a Report of Death form in writing (OPWDD and OMH programs will continue to be able to utilize IRMA or NIMRS to electronically submit the required information).
The Justice Center investigates, reviews and makes findings in allegations of abuse and neglect by staff—including employees, volunteers, interns, consultants, or contractors— against individuals who receive services. The Justice Center does not interrogate, arrest, or prosecute individuals who receive services.
