(a) Only a PCP, dentist, or psychiatrist may order
a medical restraint. Medical restraint orders must include a specific
start and stop date or time. If the time limit on the original order
is exceeded, the PCP must write a new order.
(b) Only staff who have successfully completed competency-based
training on the use of restraints may implement restraint procedures.
Staff who implement restraint procedures must also complete training
on person-specific instructions and other measures regarding restraints
contained in an individual's medical restraint plan or other plan.
(c) If restraint is used before or during intervention
for routine medical or dental care, a medical restraint plan must
be developed to describe the rationale for use of the restraint and
to provide specific individualized instructions on how to safely implement
the restraint.
