Webinar 2, on 3 November 2022, looked at SIRS reportable incidents. In this webinar, Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner Janet Anderson PSM and a panel of speakers held a discussion about SIRS reportable incidents. This webinar focused on the key differences between SIRS for home services and SIRS in residential aged care services, and the 8 SIRS reportable incident types were discussed. The SIRS from the perspective of aged care recipients was also considered, as were lessons learned over the last 18 months by a provider of both residential aged care and home services.
SIRS is due to be implemented in home care (including CHSP), 1 December 2022.
