Reporting, Disclosure, and Risk Management

Regulatory officials have very low tolerance when it comes to abuse of children and the elderly. Reporting fraud, waste, and abuse of any kind is extremely important. Those who are aware of such and choose not to report it can be held accountable.

Who is required to make a report of suspected child abuse, according to most states’ statutes?
Choose 3 states, and identify the following:

What is the law or statute for reporting suspected child abuse?
Who conducts the investigations and makes the determination that child abuse did or did not occur?
Is there any follow-up once a case is closed?
What responsibilities do those conducting the investigation have, related to the information they are gathering? How are the records managed during and after the investigation and case closure?
In general, how should health care facilities respond to requests for patient information from law enforcement personnel pertaining to suspected child abuse investigations?
