Statewide Intake
Handbook Revision, May 2014
This revision of the Statewide Intake Policy and Procedures Handbook was published on May 1, 2014. A summary of the revised material is provided below.
Terminology Changes (PATS 7072)
Changes have been made throughout the handbook regarding references to persons with intellectual disabilities and the facilities that serve them. Policies in these items were not otherwise revised, so the revision dates will not be changed.
The item below is revised to change the time frame for calling out a report regarding an incident at a State Supported Living Center to 40 minutes (previously one hour). See:
7610 When the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Reports an Incident at a State Supported Living Center (SSLC)
