55 Pa. Code § 6000.982
The purpose of quality management within the mental retardation system is to advance the quality of life of people served and supported. OMR assures that through the application of standardized incident management processes, systematic safeguards are in place to protect persons from events that place them at risk. Therefore, each provider and entity covered under the scope of this subchapter is to develop specific policy and procedures to implement a continuous quality improvement process, which includes a risk management and an incident management component. Since there is a wide diversity of agencies/entities responsible for the protection of individuals, the approach to quality management must be tailored to the unique structure of the organization. Agencies should employ standardized approaches to quality management and incident management.
