Purpose of CIRAS
The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) has developed the Critical Incident Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS) to capture electronic reports from providers and Independent Service Coordination (ISC) agencies for critical incidents involving individuals with developmental disabilities in the State's Medicaid Waiver programs. The types of incidents to be reported are listed and defined within this manual.
The reported information will be used to:
- Inform ISC agencies of potential issues involving the participants whose general health and well-being the ISCs are monitoring,
- Ensure incidents are addressed appropriately, and
- Analyze potential systemic issues and take steps to enhance overall system quality.
CIRAS is not a reporting system for alleged incidents of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Providers should continue to report alleged cases of abuse, neglect or exploitation to the Department of Human Services' Office of the Inspector General (OIG), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), Department on Aging / Adult Protective Services (APS), and/or Department of Public Health as appropriate and required in accordance with the type of service involved.
CIRAS: Overview
When a community provider is aware that an individual has experienced a critical incident as defined below, the community provider will use CIRAS to report the incident to the DDD. The CIRAS system will automatically notify the appropriate ISC agency identified in the report. The ISC agency will perform the appropriate follow-up, enter a summary in CIRAS of the follow-up actions taken, and if necessary, notify the Division of unresolved incidents as indicated in the Problem and Conflict Resolution Protocol. For some types of incidents, the Division may become directly involved in addressing the incident.
In addition to entering follow up for CIRAS incidents submitted by community providers, the ISC agencies should create CIRAS reports for incidents they become aware of that have not been reported. Unresolved issues with CIRAS incidents should be reported to the DDD per the Problem and Conflict Resolution Protocol.
CIRAS will compile data based on the CIRAS incidents reported. The DDD will have the ability to review all submitted CIRAS data while the ISC agencies will be able to review data relevant to them. Community providers will be able to review the CIRAS data relating to incidents they have reported
Critical Incidents Defined
Critical Incidents are the alleged, suspected, or actual occurrence of an incident when there is reason to believe the health or safety of an individual may be adversely affected or an individual may be placed at a reasonable risk of harm. CIRAS reports do not include abuse, neglect, or exploitation incidents. These allegations should continue to be reported to the appropriate agency; Department of Human Services' Office of the Inspector General (OIG), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), Department on Aging / Adult Protective Services (APS), and/or Department of Public Health (IDPH).
Critical incidents are defined below.
911 Call: All calls to 911 for emergency personnel response that do not fit into any other category. Calls for emergency response that are initiated by persons receiving supports from the provider agency should be included here, even if they are later determined to be inappropriate. A description of the reason for the call should be included in the narrative. Calls to 911 for medical emergencies should be reported as "Medical emergency".
Deaths: Deaths of participants who receive services while living in their own or family's home. Deaths of participants residing in residential settings are not reported as part of this data process since they are reported to OIG as per Rule 50.
Known injury: A known injury is any injury from a known cause that is not considered abuse or neglect and that requires immobilization, casting, five or more sutures or the equivalent, second or third degree burns, dental injuries, eye injuries, or any injury that prohibits the individual from participating in routine daily tasks for more than two consecutive days. In some cases, an injury may not be immediately recognized as requiring reporting. A known injury becomes reportable at the point where there is recognition that it fits this definition.
Law enforcement: Any incident that results in the individual being charged, incarcerated, or arrested. Calls to 911 for assistance that do not result in charges, arrest, or incarceration are not required to be reported in this category.
Medical emergency: Any incident where emergency medical intervention is required to save an individual's life (e.g., Heimlich maneuver, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intravenous therapy for dehydration). Calls for 911 medical assistance should be reported as "medical emergency" even if the cause is other than the examples provided. A 911 call is not required for an issue to be reported as a "medical emergency". Issues that are resolved through intervention of agency staff that would have likely resulted in death if the action had not occurred should be reported.
Missing individual: An incident that is not attributed to neglect, as define by Rule 50, and the individual cannot be located for a period of time longer than specified in the personal plan; the individual cannot be located after actions specified in the personal plan are taken; the individual cannot be located in a search of the immediate surrounding area; circumstances indicate that the individual may be in immediate jeopardy; or law enforcement has been called to assist in the search for the individual.
Peer-to-peer acts: Acts committed by one individual against one or more individuals when there is physical abuse with intent to harm; verbal abuse with intent to intimidate, harass, or humiliate resulting in emotional distress or maladaptive behavior; any sexual abuse; any exploitation; or intentional misappropriation of property. In some cases, such incidents may need to be reported to OIG as potential staff neglect or exploitation, rather than reported in CIRAS. If peer-to-peer actions occur due to failure of staff to intervene to prevent or stop the act, a neglect report is appropriate. In cases where one individual is clearly the aggressor, it is acceptable to make only one CIRAS entry in the name of the aggressor, listing the name(s) of the victim(s) in the narrative. However, if two or more people become involved in an altercation that meets this definition and the aggressor is identified as multiple individuals, a separate CIRAS report should be completed for each aggressor. Acts committed against staff should be reported in the "Peer-to-staff" option.
Peer-to-staff: Acts committed by one individual against one or more staff members when there is physical abuse with intent to harm or verbal abuse with intent to intimidate, harass, or humiliate. In cases where one individual is clearly the aggressor, it is acceptable to make only one CIRAS entry in the name of the aggressor, listing the name(s) of the victim(s) in the narrative. However, if two or more people become involved in an altercation that meets this definition and the aggressor is identified as multiple individuals, a separate CIRAS report should be completed for each aggressor.
Unauthorized restraint: Any use of restraint beyond the provisions outlined in Appendix G of each Waiver. Refer to Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code for details. (See 405 ILCS 5/1-125 and 405 ILCS 5/2-108 for details.)
Unknown injury: Any injury of an unknown cause that is not considered possible abuse or neglect and that requires treatment that only a physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner can provide. If the cause of the injury is known, follow instructions in KNOWN INJURY and/or MEDICAL EMERGENCY categories.
Unscheduled hospitalization: Any hospital admission that is not scheduled in advance. Hospitalization admissions that occur as a result of a "Medical emergency" or "911 call" should not be reported in this category but should be reported in the appropriate category.

Change in provider FEIN number: Impact on CIRAS Reporting for Individuals and Designated Agency Reporters
|
Steps to complete: |
If the FEIN number for a provider agency is changed (example: due to new acquisition, merger), then the provider must complete the following steps to assure individuals served and designated agency reporters are associated with the appropriate provider agency in the CIRAS system: |
- Contact DDD staff in the Bureau of Community Reimbursement and Program Support to determine the appropriate documents/forms to submit to the DDD. The Bureau will provide guidance on updating the provider's information in the ROCS system.
- Update information of impacted individuals in the ROCS system to reflect the new provider FEIN number.
- Complete new forms (IL444-2022 (pdf) and IL444-4144 (pdf)) for the designated agency reporters. For IL444-4144, add an appropriate statement to the "Narrative Description of Request" section of the form to reflect reason for submission of a new form.

Notifications of CIRAS Incidents
ISC Agencies
Once a provider reports an incident through CIRAS, a report alert is sent to the default email address for each ISC agency.
ISCs may change the preloaded email address or they may also add additional email addresses. Once an ISC agency receives their User ID and password, the email address changes may be made.
ISC Agency Response to Notifications
ISCs will receive notification via email of each incident reported. They will incorporate the report information into their next scheduled monitoring event or sooner. The notifications listed below will be flagged as priority for review within one working day upon receipt of the email and require follow-up action and documentation:
- Law Enforcement
- Missing Individual
- Unscheduled Hospitalization
All CIRAS submissions require a follow-up entry by the ISC within 10 working days of the initial report. This follow-up should be entered in CIRAS for DDD tracking. The Search function in CIRAS is to be used to locate the incident and then enter the follow-up notes. Use of another reporting system does not replace a follow-up entry in CIRAS.
ISCs will follow the Problem and Conflict Resolution Protocol for all critical incidents in order to determine when incidents should be referred to the DDD for action.
DDD Staff Responsibilities for Individual Incident Review
The system will alert Quality Management Staff in the CIRAS unit of all incidents involving:
- Death (of individual who received services while living in their own or their family's home)
- Law Enforcement
- Missing Individual
DDD staff will contact ISCs within one working day following receipt of the e-mail to ensure necessary action is underway and continue to monitor the situation until it is resolved.
The DDD will address all incidents referred to the DDD for action by ISC agencies. If necessary, Bureau of Quality Management (BQM) staff will coordinate with Regions staff to address the incident. Region staff will follow the Problem and Conflict Resolution Protocol and its time frames.
BQM staff will be made aware of all incidents reported regarding participants selected for the annual review sample prior to conducting on-site visits. Staff will review follow-up of the incidents reported involving sample participants. Should any unreported incidents be identified, staff will identify that as a find inclosing and require a plan of correction.
BQM staff in the CIRAS unit will review a random sample of reported incidents selected by the OA's Information Technology section to ensure reports are complete and that appropriate action steps were taken in response to the incident.
REMOVING STAFF/USER NAMES FROM CIRAS
Providers and ISC agencies have a responsibility to ensure access to CIRAS data is maintained in a confidential and protected manner. To remove staff, each agency should ensure HIPAA standards by completing the IL444-4144 (pdf) as indicated below.

DATA REPORTS AND ANALYSIS
CIRAS Data Reports for ISC Agencies and Community Providers
Community providers and ISC agencies have the ability to review standardized reports from the CIRAS system. ISC agencies will be able to review reports for all incidents sent to them. Community providers will be able to see only the reports regarding the incidents they have reported.
Reports may be viewed from the Reports tab on the CIRAS site. The reports are viewed through the InfoView portal which requires the external user I.D. to login.
The InfoView Manual is available by clicking on this link InfoView Manual.
Summary Reports and Trend Analysis
Summary reports will be developed for trend analysis as follows:
- Deaths. This report will be sorted by Service Facilitation agency and will display all data elements, including the narrative detail. BQM and Executive Management staff will review this information on a quarterly basis.
- Type of Critical Incident. This report will count and display the types of critical incidents in descending order of the most frequently reported types for the previous quarter and fiscal year-to-date.
- Time of Critical Incident. This report will count and display the number of incidents reported in each hour of the day for the previous quarter and fiscal year-to-date.
- Date of Critical Incident. This report will count and display the number of incidents reported in each month of the year for the current fiscal year.
- Location of Critical Incident. This report will count and display the number of incidents reported at each location type for the previous quarter and fiscal year-to-date.
