ODP Announcement 21-079 announces the release of an updated Administrative Review Process Manual. This document replaces the manual that was published in 2018. All prospective and current Administrative Review Committee members are required to be familiar with the Administrative Review Process guidelines that are outlined in the manual.

These changes were made in order to align with Incident Management (IM) Bulletin 00-21-02 (which was issued March 1, 2021 and became effective on July 1, 2021) and the Enterprise Incident Management (EIM) system. Several new or expanded topics have been added to the manual. Major changes to the new manual include:

  • How to complete committee responsibilities while using new EIM functionality changes;
  • How to complete the Administrative Review Information, Administrative Review Summary, Preventative Corrective Actions, and Additional Corrective Actions in EIM;
  • How to complete the Certified Investigator Report and Administrative Review Committee Report forms that are fillable and consistent with screens in EIM;
  • A glossary of terms that are relevant to both the Certified Investigator and the Administrative Review Committee; and
  • How to ensure core principles of objectivity, speed/timeliness, and thoroughness are present while reviewing critical incident investigations.

If you have any questions regarding the 2021 Administrative Review Process Manual, please submit them via email.

DDAP has identified a need for substance use disorder (SUD) drop-in centers, which provide harm reduction support services and connections to recovery and treatment services, in areas of the commonwealth where overdose death rates are highest. DDAP will provide funds to existing drop-in centers to expand their services and increase overdose prevention and community-driven harm reduction. Physical locations of the existing drop-in centers can be permanently fixed or temporary, community-based pop-up locations.

More information about the grant is available here. A project summary and budget template are available on DDAP’s website.

All applications should be submitted electronically no later than 12:00 pm, Monday, December 13, 2021.
