The Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) has issued additional guidance on the Enterprise Incident Management (EIM) Enhancements.
As stated in the communication sent on December 10, 2021, Critical Incident Report Extensions changes were implemented in the EIM system on December 11, 2021. With these changes, once the maximum number of allowed extensions is reached, providers and service coordinators (SC) will need to contact OLTL if additional extensions are needed.
The December 10, 2021, communication indicated that OLTL had drafted a form to use in the near future, and once approved, you would be notified. The OLTL EIM Critical Incident Report Extension Request form has been approved and is here for your use.
When requesting incident report extensions, please follow these instructions:
OLTL staff will respond to extension requests within 3 business days by replying to the requestor to let them know if the request was approved or rejected. If rejected, the reason for the rejection will be included in the response. If approved, OLTL staff will enter the extension in EIM.
Any questions regarding the information in this email should be directed here.

Data was collected between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021.
This Special Edition Report shows individual state and overall national outcomes for the NCI-IDD COVID-19 Supplement questions. You can see the report here.

Project Goal: To improve service delivery and processes for DHS’ clients, DHS staff, and business partners
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) is launching a website to share information about the ECM system up to and beyond implementation. The website is intended to communicate key information of the services provided to participants and families through multiple DHS program offices, regardless of the human services program or county providing the service.
The ECM website can be accessed here.
ECM will replace several legacy systems across program offices through the implementation of one common solution. By means of this website, users can get acclimated with all ECM subsystems and their functions. The primary pages and a brief synopsis are as follows:
We hope that you will refer to the website often as more information is posted while PA DHS and its partners prepare for the initial launch.
