The proposed regulations indicate that the ISP be completed within 24 hours of admission for crisis stabilization. Previously, the requirement was within 10 business days of the assessment. DBHDS regulations for Children’s Residential Facilities allow three days from the date of admission to develop the ISP. As a residential crisis stabilization provider, we propose that the ISP be completed within 72 hours of admission to be in alignment with licensure regulations for residential services. We currently develop the ISP within 24 hours of admission into our Crisis Stabilization Unit but sometimes parents are unable to participate in the initial planning and sign the ISP within the 24 hour timeframe.
