The priority assigned to an abuse, neglect, or exploitation intake report in IMPACT automatically transfers to the IMPACT Priority field in the IMPACT Information section of the Intake Report in CLASS.
The screener, supervisor, or designee must select the correct CLASS priority from the drop-down list in the Priority section in the Intake Report. The priority assigned to a report of abuse, neglect, or exploitation in CLASS must be consistent with the IMPACT Priority.
The table below outlines the appropriate CLASS options to prioritize intake reports. Refer to the Definitions of Terms for:
- Impairment
- Serious harm
- Serious incident
- Serious injury
- Substantial harm
