Does HCS require a nurse to be on call for emergency restraint notification or other scenarios?
It depends on the provider’s policy as HCS principle ยง9.179 (g) states that, after restraining an individual in a behavioral emergency, a program provider must: 1) notify an RN or LVN of the restraint no later than one hour after the use of a restraint; 2) ensure that medical services are obtained for the individual as necessary.
