Psychiatric residential treatment facilities are required to report deaths, serious injuries and attempted suicides to State Medicaid Agency and Protection and Advocacy Organization. Also required to provide residents restraint and seclusion policy in writing, and to document resident record of all activities involving use of restraint and seclusion.
US Code:
42 USC 483.350
Name of Law: Public Health - General requirements for PRTFs/Subpart G
There are no program changes, however, burden estimates have been revised. For example, the number of facilities meeting the PRTF requirements at 42 CFR 440.160 has declined since 2008 (from 500 projected to 376 actual). This decline is reflected in the adjusted burden hours: 501,750 in 2008 to 415,668 in 2012. In addition to reinstating this collection, this ICR also seeks to correct a mathematical error regarding the number of total responses from 329,500 in 2008 to 1,414,141 in 2012.
