CHS established a jar process in 2016 to specifically examine the systems and environmental aspects unique to cultural settings within which care is provided.

The forum enables CHS and DOC leadership to share relevant findings and insights from each agency's independent review of a significant adverse event and to together identify systemic risk reduction remedies that could reduce the likelihood of recurrence of such an event.

This includes the sharing of limited clinical information when relevant to discussing operational factors that may have contributed to a death.
