Health & Welfare
A major unusual incident (MUI) is defined as the alleged, suspected, or actual occurrence of an incident when there is reason to believe that the health or welfare of an individual may be adversely affected or an individual may be placed at a likely risk of harm. There are nineteen (19) types of MUI’s that have been broken down in into three (3) administrative categories.
The Investigative Agents follow MUI rule 5123-17-02 of the Administrative Code. All of the incidents reported require that immediate action be taken to protect individuals from further harm, that an investigation is conducted to determine the cause of the incident and contributing factors, and that a prevention plan is developed to reduce the likelihood of further occurrences.
The MUI reporting phone number for the Board, maintained by Townhall II, is: 330-678-7559. This number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days week. The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities also has a hotline number: 800-617-6733.
