Other Restrictive Interventions Clause Samples

Other Restrictive Interventions. ‌ 150. GRC shall ensure that other restrictive interventions, such as heightened levels of supervision, are used only as needed, in conjunction with positive behavioral interventions that address functionally equivalent replacement behaviors, and after a range of less restrictive measures have been exhausted. GRC shall ensure that any restrictive interventions are used only consistent with current, generally accepted professional standards of care. 151. In the event of an imminent safety risk, brief restrictive interventions may be used for up to 15 minutes, and may continue for up to 12 hours with the advance approval of the Administrator on Duty. 152. Unless there is an imminent safety risk, no restrictive intervention shall be implemented until: a. The resident’s IDT, GRC’s Human Rights Committee, the Director of Psychology, and the resident’s guardian have approved the use of the restrictive intervention following a thorough discussion of likely consequences; and b. When the Director of Psychology is absent, an appropriate acting Director of Psychology may review and determine whether to approve on the Director's behalf. The Director of Psychology shall subsequently review and determine whether to approve within 5 business days of their return. c. The resident has a BSP, developed by the resident’s Behavioral Health Professional and implemented by the resident’s IDT, identifying the specific criteria for use and discontinuation of the restrictive intervention. The BSP shall be developed from a thorough functional behavioral assessment that reliably identifies the causes and functions of, and precursors to, the behaviors leading to restrictive interventions and a documented exhaustion of less restriction alternatives. The BSP shall set forth specific steps to be taken by the resident’s IDT and Behavioral Health Professional to address the behaviors that led to the resident’s restrictive interventions and to minimize and ultimately eliminate the intervention’s use. Use of restrictive interventions, and the BSP to address the behaviors leading to restrictive interventions, shall be subject to the processes described in Paragraph 140.
