§ 6000.955. Supports coordinator.
(a) A support coordinator is a person who is responsible for the coordination of services for an individual and who receives reports from an individual or family. When an individual or a family member informs the supports coordinator of an event that can be categorized as abuse or neglect as defined in this subchapter and there is no relationship as specified in § 6000.911(b)(1)(3) (relating to providers), the supports coordinator functioning in the point person role is to take prompt action to protect the individual. Once the individuals health and safety are assured, the supports coordinator will ensure a certified investigator is assigned, as necessary, and file a HCSIS Incident Report.
(b) When a family informs their supports coordinator of the death of a relative, the supports coordinator will determine if a report has been filed by a provider. If no provider is required to file the report, the supports coordinator will file a HCSIS Incident Report.
