Positive Supports Rule: Restricted and Prohibited Procedures - Virtual Classroom

A common misunderstanding that providers have is that MN Rules, Chapter 9544, "The Positive Supports Rule (PSR)" doesn't apply to them because they do not support anyone with "negative or challenging behaviors." The PSR does apply including what staff cannot do and what staff may be able to do when needed. "We didn't know!" is not a reason to have inadvertently implemented a prohibited procedure or used an EUMR or PSTP in an incorrect manner. This course will provide important information related to restricted and prohibited procedures so that services and supports can be provided in a positive, confident way.

Topics include:

• Prohibited procedures listed in MN Statutes, Chapter 245D and the PSR - several will be discussed in depth
• Restricted procedures including Emergency Use of Manual Restraint (EUMR) and the Positive Support Transition Plans (PSTP)
• Chapter 245D and the PSR requirements for reporting, reviewing, and documenting an EUMR
• When a PSTP is required to support someone in decreasing target behaviors while increasing positive, adaptive behaviors

​After the course, participants will leave with a greater understanding of these two types of procedures and the confidence to then train their staff!
