Council asks state contact after OTIS abuse-reporting data lacks facility visibility
Summary
Sarah reported county email exchange with Mary Rumbaugh indicating OTIS shows abuse types but not facility-level links; the council requested Mary or Tracy present next month to explain next steps and timelines for improving public access.
At the Sept. 22 meeting, Sarah updated the Clackamas County IDD Advisory Council on an exchange with Mary Rumbaugh and Tracy Garell about abuse-reporting data. Sarah said Mary and Tracy confirmed the OTIS public dataset currently shows abuse types and case details but does not link incidents to named facilities.
Sarah asked the council to invite Mary to present next month so members can better understand what the state can and cannot share. County staff explained the plan is to link facilities when the statewide case management and provider system is operational and that OHA and ODDS have been asked to make the information more visible for families. "There's a plan to link to facilities, when a new case management system and provider system are up and running," Sarah said, and Mary offered to meet with the council to discuss next steps.
Why it matters: council members said facility-level visibility would help families and advocates find relevant information about incidents and transparency. Members also discussed whether the county could help schedule or facilitate the presentation.
Next steps: Sarah and other members agreed to invite Mary (and/or Tracy) to a future meeting—likely October or January depending on availability—to review the OTIS data and potential timelines for facility-level links.
