- 520 - A.-Will there be specified curriculum or DBHDS training in order to qualify someone as an expert in all spheres?

- 520 - C- Definition of "adequacy of staffing"?  HIgh risk understandably points out seclusion and restraint - any other definition of "high risk"?

650 - F- 7 g - Definition of restrictive protocols and special supervision requirements?

660 - C - "alternative services" - does that include services not available  or affordable? 

675 A-  re: reassessments, includes language "or other" change in status.  Does that include housing?  Job?  Social?  How to apply across all service provision?

675 - 3 - define team members . Applying to all services is extraordinary.  Time frame of when team meeting would be expected to occur?

1245 - Would that require case managers to be assessing all Part Vs?

It is understood the intent of these emergency regulations are to respond to the SA.  For CSBs, it needs to be noted the regulations also effect all licensed services.
