MUI or Major Unusual Incidents:
A Major Unusual Incident (MUI) is any alleged, suspected or actual incident that adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of an individual with a disability supported by Summit DD. County Boards of DD are responsible for the immediate action, investigations, and prevention planning for each incident, which are then reviewed by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, or DODD. For incidents of an alleged criminal nature, Summit DD works with law enforcement.
Provider Compliance:
To ensure safety standards County Board settings and any organization providing waiver funded services to individuals with developmental disabilities, must regularly complete provider compliance reviews. Reviews are conducted by the DODD Office of Provider Standards and Review (OPSR) and take place at the end of the provider’s term license or at least once every five years or as needed.
- For more information regarding compliance visit the compliance review protocol page on DODD’s site.
