ODP Announcement 23-034 serves to announce that the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has released an updated Administrative Review Process Manual. Agency Board of Directors and Human Rights committee members, Agency Administrative, Management and Risk Management staff, Administrative Entities (AEs), Supports Coordination Organizations (SCOs), Supports Coordinators (SCs), Direct Service Providers (DSPs), and Contracted Entities that are responsible for reviewing critical incident investigations as required under Incident Management Bulletin 00-21-02 and under Chapter 6100.404 Final Incident Report should all be familiar with the information contained in this manual.

All prospective and current Administrative Review Committee members and other administrative staff are required to be familiar with the Administrative Review process guidelines that are outlined in the manual and should review the entire 2023 Administrative Review Process Manual to ensure their understanding and use of the standards and protocols contained in it.

In order to align with Incident Management (IM) Bulletin 00-21-02 (effective July 1, 2021) and the Enterprise Incident Management (EIM) system, several new or expanded topics have been added to the manual. This document replaces the manual that was published in 2021.

If you have any questions regarding the 2023 Administrative Review Process Manual, please contact Taniqua Robinson at Temple University.
