Serious Incident definition - Tier 1 has no definition.  What is it?

Definition of Serious Incident:  Hospital admission should be "unplanned hospital admission."

Background and CPS Registry prior to hiring - our industry has a difficult time recruiting a qualified work force and to put this requirement on providers means that potential employees will be seeking work elsewhere.  

There are proposed regulations requiring additional time consuming administrative requirements.   Example root cause analysis for all tier levels. The current rate stucture for providers is poor enough - now we're being asked to have more costly admin oversight.

Thank you for our allowing comments.
