Handbook Revision, December 1, 2022
This revision of the Statewide Intake Policy and Procedures Handbook was published on December 1, 2022. Summaries of new or revised items are provided below.
Processing DCI Intakes (PATS 13746)
In the recent update to the SWI Handbook section 8610, a step was left out regarding processing an Unregulated Child Day Care Operation. The intake specialist must select a "facility type" as well as a "resource type" in order to process the intake. This edit is to correct that. Additionally, a correction to the Administering Medications section has been made to bring the policy into alignment with other policy.
