Facility Specific TA/Consultation/Reminders: ABCMS – CBC Provider Portal Reminder: The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the reference training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been given, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. The information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Should you need assistance contact the Criminal Background Check Unit at (919)814-4401 and someone will assist you.

As a highly contagious, airborne disease, even one case is a major priority for public health. NCDHHS is taking action by launching new outreach resources for child care providers, families, and community stakeholders to help curb the spread. Child care providers can share information about vaccinations with the families served and be informed with the most current information. For more information and to access tools and resources, visit NCDHHS at dph.ncdhhs.gov/measles. Flu Season Precautions for Child Care Since so many children spend part of their day in child care in North Carolina, it is vitally important that child care providers follow the child care licensing rules pertaining to health and safety during the flu season. This includes recognizing when children are too ill to be in child care, separating children who become ill in child care, and preventing the spread of illness. Children should be excluded from child care when any of these symptoms are present: • fever of 101° F or higher • sudden onset of diarrhea • episodes of vomiting • strep throat or • if the child is unable to participate in regular activities. Child care providers who have questions about suspected flu symptoms of young children, or who need advice on health issues, may contact the NC Child Care Health and Safety Resource Center at 1-800-367-2229. Visit the DCDEE website (https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/) for updated requirements, forms, and other pertinent information.
