OTIS Welcome Page

Welcome to OTIS

OTIS (Online Tracking Incident System) is a web based application created by DHH. Nursing homes or ICF/DD providers submit via the Internet State and Federally required reports of alleged neglect, abuse, injuries of unknown origin, and/or misappropriation of resident property. Injuries of unknown origin are defined as those injuries which meet the following two conditions:

1)
the
source of the injury was not observed by any person or the source of the injury could not be explained by the resident AND
2) the injury is suspicious because of the extent of the injury or the location of the injury (e.g., the injury is located in an area not generally vulnerable to trauma). 
 

All injuries of unknown origin not meeting the two conditions noted above are required to be investigated by the facility and documentation of their investigation is maintained in the facility.
