Understanding and Applying Rule 40
Presented by Becky Eikmeier, Program Services Consultant/QDDP
Did you know that even though 245D will
soon be in effect, Rule 40 will continue to apply to individuals with developmental
disabilities? Don’t be left unaware – come and learn about Rule 40, which
governs the use of aversive and deprivation procedures for these individuals. This
course is divided into two sections designed to provide managers with
understanding on the details of Rule 40. Proper understanding and
implementation of these procedures is necessary to ensure respectful care of
individuals.
The first section will provide
information on:
- The purposes of Rule 40
- Established definitions of
exempted, prohibited, and controlled procedures
- When an Emergency Use of
Controlled Procedure (EUCP) may be used and it’s reporting requirements
The second section will outline:
- Applicable criteria and steps to
develop a Rule 40 plan
- Documentation requirements for the
plan
- Company and state committee
reviews
- Elements to quarterly reporting
Audience:
QDDPs and/or managers who are responsible for writing and reviewing all uses of
controlled procedures will benefit from this course, whether for the first time
or as a refresher!
