DMS Web Members – Submitting PRCFs

PRCs allow you to bring forward concerns regarding patient/client/ resident quality of care, staff safety, and workplace rights. You are advised to discuss concerns with your immediate supervisor and follow applicable employer reporting processes. You can report the concern to UNA using the reporting process(es) that best fit your concern. If in doubt, fill it out! Contact your UNA Local or a UNA office for assistance.

PRCs relate to patient/resident/ client safety and quality of care and can be reported to UNA on our mobile app (both iOS and Android) or website. The paper form and the form to fill online are now the same.

    • Worksite & Unit: There are three main forms of searching for the Workplace & Unit:
      1. Leaving the Local blank allows you to do a “global” search of all the Sites & Units.
      2. You can perform a search (either with or without a search term) first, then you either pick the desired unit or “Entire Site” if the unit isn’t listed/doesn’t exist. By leaving it blank, it will load every Unit for the currently-selected local.
      3. You can search for keywords such as ‘Emerg’.
