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, endstage renal disease facilities and intermediate care facilities for people with mental retardation to report certain serious events (unanticipated death, permanent loss of function, surgery on the wrong body part or patient, hemolytic transfusion reactions, suicide, rape, infant abduction or discharge to the wrong family) to the Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services within the Department of Health and Human Services.
