All About the CHRIS Database (and What We Do With It!)

from Rights Here, Rights Now! Hosted by disAbility Law Center of VA

Welcome back listeners! Today we are talking about all the CHRIS (Computerized Human Rights Information System) database and what we do with it. The CHRIS database is information we receive every day from the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services regarding serious injuries or incidents that occur across the state involving people with disabilities. We receive this data into a database and then have a team of reviewers and volunteers read each report and assess any need for follow up. Sometimes we use this data to inform projects for upcoming years, monitoring goals, or we open investigations based on the reports. We hope this episodes gives you a glimpse into the important work that we do and how you can get involved! We always need volunteers to help us read these important reports. You can learn more about becoming a volunteer at www.dlcv.org/volunteer. As always, full transcriptions are available online at www.dlcv.org and you can follow us on Twitter and on Facebook.
