Rule 441-90.5 - Rights restrictions

Rule 441-90.5 (249A) applies to all categories of case management and all populations covered by case management. Any effort to restrict the rights of a member to realize the member's preferences or goals must be justified by a specific individualized assessed safety need and documented in the person-centered service plan. The following requirements must be documented in the plan when a safety need has been identified that warrants a rights restriction:

1. The specific and individualized assessed safety need;

2. The positive interventions and supports used prior to any modifications or additions to the person-centered service plan regarding safety needs;

3. The less intrusive methods of meeting the safety needs that have been tried but were not successful;

4. A clear description of the rights restriction that is directly proportionate to the specific assessed safety need;

5. The regular collection and review of data to measure the ongoing effectiveness of the rights restriction;

6. The established time limits for periodic reviews to determine whether the rights restriction is still necessary or can be terminated;

7. The informed consent of the member to the proposed rights restriction; and

8. An assurance that the rights restriction itself will not cause undue harm to the member.
