The Risk Report of the Oregon Needs Assessment (ONA) is designed to assist teams in identifying any known, Serious Risks that are present in the person’s life.

This guidance documents below are intended only for teams who will be using the ONA Risk Report to identify Serious Risks for people who live in in-home settings. This guidance will not apply to teams who support people who live in residential settings, such as 24-hour residential, Supported Living, or foster care.

Which teams will be using the ONA Risk Report? Services Coordinators and Personal Agents (SC/PAs) who support people in in-home settings will have the option of using either the ONA Risk Report or the Risk Identification Tool (RIT) to identify Serious Risks. If you live in or support someone in an in-home setting, check with the person’s SC/PA to determine which tool will be used to identify Serious Risks.

If your team is using the ONA Risk Report, refer to the guidance below. If your team will continue to use the Risk Identification Tool, refer to the RIT guidance in the current Oregon ISP Instruction Manual (above).
