Sentinel Event Program
The Mandatory Sentinel Event Reporting statute became effective in May of 2003. As many other states, Maine recognized the need to respond to healthcare safety issues by establishing a law that would require hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, end stage renal disease facilities and intermediate care facilities for people with intellectual disabilities to report certain serious events (unanticipated death, permanent loss of function, surgery on the wrong body part or patient, suicide, rape, abduction or discharge of a patient who is unable to make decisions to other than an authorized person) to the Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services within the Department of Health and Human Services.
