Mandatory Reporting
Captions available
The idea
Health workers are legally required to report certain situations, and requirements vary by state.
In practice
Commonly required reports include suspected abuse of children, older adults and other vulnerable people, some communicable diseases, and unsafe or illegal practice by team members.
Where people slip
Report through the practice's process and the provider; the requirement covers suspected abuse, so you do not wait for certainty.
