Changes should be reported to the Family Care Advocate. Attendance and Punctuality Policy Call in/shift coverage Call In/Shift Coverage Procedures To maintain a safe and productive work environment, BIS expects employees to be reliable and to be punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on other employees and on BIS and will not be tolerated. In the rare instances when employees cannot avoid being late to work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should notify their supervisor as soon as possible in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence and their start time should reflect the late start time as discussed in the Time Keeping and Mileage Log policy (401). Changes to the scheduled start and/or end time of any publish schedule must be submitted to the Staffing Coordinator of that client within 24 hours of the changes so that it may be reflected in the employee's published schedule. Unreported and undocumented changes to a published schedule will result in disciplinary action. Failure to follow the agency's call off/shift coverage policies will subject the employee to disciplinary action. Employees that call off to a scheduled shift during the hours of Friday at 3pm to Monday at 8am will receive a first and final disciplinary action (DAF). Employees that call off to a second shift during the hours of Friday at 3pm to Monday at 8am during a six month period will be terminated. Employees that have three call offs of any nature during a six-month period (unless excused by a physician's note) will be terminated. Employees that are late to three scheduled shifts in a 6 month period will receive a first and final disciplinary action (DAF). Employees that are late to an additional shift in a 6 month period and have already received a first and final warning regarding tardiness will be subject to termination. Poor attendance and excessive tardiness are disruptive. Either may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Any BIS employee found to be in violation of these or any policies/ procedures will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

At 5:50pm I prompted SP that she needed to take one bite of food in the next five minutes or she would not have her snack tonight. I prompted SP every minute explaining how many minutes she had left to take one bite. SP refused to take any bites. After the five minutes were over I explained to SP that we would sit at the table until it was time to take her bath and go to bed. SP continued to sit and look. SP began to rest her head on her hand as if she was going to sleep. At 7:00pm, her room mate began to eat her dinner, Subway. SP began pointing to her roommate's plate saying she was hungry. I gave SP her meds and prompted her to eat her food. SP responded by scratching staff, ripping her shirt and punching her body. She was prompted to have nice hands. At 7:15 SP threw her spoon at roommate and was removed to her bedroom where she sat with nice hands. At 7:30, SP chose her clothes for the next day, her night clothes and began her bath routine. She required help washing her hair and verbal prompts to wash her body. SP independently dressed herself, brushed her teeth and went to bed at 8:30pm. Overall SP had an okay day with the exception of several target behaviors and refusals. Consumer Funds Each consumer within an ISL receives funding from the state. Some consumers may receive additional funding from additional sources At the start and end of each shift, you will be responsible for checking and recording consumer funds Personal Funds Each consumer receives a set allowance from the state each month. • These funds are used for activities in the community, as well as, personalized items (i.e. hair products, soap, OTC medications, hygiene products) • These funds are tracked on a financial tracking sheet in the ISL • Set monthly amount varies per consumer Pocket Money This funding comes from parents, guardians, family members • Can be spent on activities in the community, personal items, food, whatever the client might want or need • Amount varies per consumer • These funds are tracked on a financial tracking sheet in the ISL Chaperone Funds • These funds are for staff to use when doing activities in the community • These funds are tracked on a financial tracking sheet in the ISL • The set monthly amount for each consumer is $30. • These funds can ONLY be used with Personal Funds • Must have a personal fund receipt to match chaperone receipt Household funds • All consumers receive a set $30 monthly allowance for household items • Includes all cleaning products • Paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, laundry detergent • These funds are tracked by the QDDP • Must use these items sparingly • Once the house hold is out of money, THAT’s IT! MUST KEEP ALL RECEIPTS NO MATTER WHAT FUND IS USED!! Consumer Funds Continued… Buying consumers gifts Any additional purchase made outside of the provided consumer funding, must be approved by the QDDP for each consumer This is to prevent perceived gift/purchase entitlement of the consumer Set-up expectations that all staff should buy them something Staff cannot bribe clients… If you do/stop that…then I will buy you… “Be a good girl today, and I will take you to McDonald’s” Behavioral Crisis Procedure In the event that a behavioral crisis or injury to staff occurs at the time of a shift change or while on shift that places the safety of our consumers and/or staff at risk, it is expected that staff is not to leave the ISL prior to the following procedure: the QDDP and/or Behavior Therapist for the team has been contacted The Event Report Form has been filled out and faxed to the BIS office the staff relieving you on shift has arrived the situation has deescalated a supervisor (QDDP, BT, ISL director) gives permission to leave Failing to remain with the consumer before these steps have been taken will constitute consumer neglect and job abandonment, and employment with BIS will be terminated. The situation will also be submitted to the state for investigation.

According to DMH, person centered planning is a process directed by the individual, with assistance as need from a represented. This process allows the individual to access supports that will allow him/her to achieve personally defined outcomes and the training, supports, therapies, treatments, and other services to become part of the plan. • All consumer’s within the ISL will have an ISP. Each staff member is required to receive ISP training (and BSP training if applicable) before working their first shift with any consumer • It is important to remember that the Individualized Support Plan is the document that drives all that we do with our consumers. • ALL STAFF MUST FOLLOW THE ISP AT ALL TIMES Individualized Support Plan What information is in the ISP? • • • • • • • • • • • • The individual’s demographic information Contributors to the plan Who is important to the individual What is important to the individual What do you need to know to appropriately support the individual What supports are needed for health, if any?

There may be more or less depending on the consumers you work with. You will learn more about client-specific paperwork during your training shift with the Lead Staff. It seems like a lot at first, but once you get used to it, it’s a breeze! Daily Progress Notes (DPN) DPNs track the progress of consumers toward their ISP goals and Missouri Quality Outcomes These DPNs must have your accurate time in/time out, date, printed name, signature DPNs must be fully filled out—do not leave anything blank! Circle or write in N/A if that particular task was not completed DPNs are different for each consumer Daily Progress Notes (DPN) What information is included on a DPN? • Progress made towards outcomes • Any doctor’s appointments attended • Any medications that have been given • Any new medical information specific to the consumer (i.e. illness, new medication order, etc.) • Any visitors to the home • Any pertinent phone conversations • Any unusual incidents • Behavior Incidents • The emergence of any new behavior concerns • Emergency Situations • Community Outings • Any new skills that have been mastered Behavior Data Sheets Behavior Data Sheets collect information that is needed for Behavior Therapy. Not all ISL consumers have Behavior Data Sheets separate from DPNs, but they are just as important! These sheets help you and the Behavior Therapist track the behavioral progress that the consumer is making and help justify their need for services. Intake, Sleep, and BM Logs These logs are very simple to complete, but it is important to keep track of Intake (what the consumer eats/drinks), sleep (times that the consumer is sleeping), and BM (times that the consumer has a Bowel Movement) to maintain communication in the house and to monitor the consumer’s health. • These Medical Data sheets must be completed every shift • If any consumer has not had a BM in 3 days you MUST notify the QDDP immediately • Some consumers require their blood pressure, weight, fluid intake, or temperature to be recorded everyday, these are important medical records that must be kept up with accurately to ensure the quality of our consumer’s health Monthly Nursing Reviews The Community RN looks for signs and trends that may be medically, behaviorally, and mentally intertwined and affecting the clients behavior or well-being • Intake, Sleep, and BM logs are also reviewed by the BIS Community RN who does monthly visits to each ISL with every individual consumer • Many people don’t realize that physical and physiological symptoms can all effect our behavior, the monthly RN visit are essential to maintaining our consumers health and over all wellbeing • It’s important for staff to familiarize themselves with why medical data is being taken and who to notify if abnormal observations are made • Always notify the QDDP if there are any abnormal medical changes or medication concerns • The QDDP contacts the Nurse for further instructions • • • • • • • • ISL time sheets are due every other Monday after the Sunday overnight (9am) All time sheets will be faxed to the Office at (314) 395-9381 from the ISL by whomever works Sunday overnights One time sheet per HOME Only use 15-minute increments when signing in and out Time sheet times MUST match Daily Progress Notes (DPN) Do NOT falsify the time sheet.
