A2. TheDirector of a service licensed or funded by the department shall report each allegation of abuse or neglect via the web based reporting application within 24 hours of receipt of the allegation.

B2. The director of service licensed or funded by the dept.shall report deaths and  serious injuries within 24 hours of discoveryand by telephone to the AR with in 24 hrs.

Larger providers have a centralized system of submitting and tracking reports in the CHRIS system. Reporting within the 24 hours is difficult to meet. Would recommend adding " or by the end of the next business day" for reporting to the dept for both items above. - would also specify the submission process as being the online application. (CHRIS).
