Further, Chosen Care monitors potential harassment or violence towards others, including other service recipients or personnel, and utilizes the below levels to mediate any circumstances. Chosen staff is trained in the Trauma Competent Caregiver Curriculum by Back2Back Ministries as well as Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI ®) developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and David Cross at the TCU Institute of Child Development which utilize TBRI® Levels of Response™. The level system is used to de-escalate situations. Level 1: Playful Engagement Level 2: Structured Engagement Level 3: Calming Engagement Level 4: Protective Engagement Chosen Care advises clients to seek formal training during Level 4 Response. This would come from the agency through which the child was placed in their home. The organization does not escort individuals or use seclusion. The organization does not use locked seclusion. The organization is not qualified to authorize a restrictive intervention. Personnel will not be involved in any restrictive behavior management interventions while in the home. If staff is a witness to the incident, they will debrief with client to identify possible injuries and emotional reactions.

If a client discloses information about using a restrictive behavior management intervention, Chosen Care staff will document it in clients file including the justification, use, circumstances, and length of application. All attempts made prior to use of the restrictive behavior management intervention will also be identified and documented. Staff will review the incident and talk through de-escalation strategies for future scenarios.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has created new patient protections surrounding the use of protected health information. Commonly referred to as the “medical records privacy law,” HIPAA provides patient protections related to the electronic transmission of data (“the transaction rules”), the keeping and use of patient records (“privacy rules”), and storage and access to health care records (“security rules”). HIPAA requires providers and health care agencies throughout the country to provide patients a notification of their privacy rights as it relates to their records. You may have already received similar notices such as this one from your other health care providers. This Patient Notification of Privacy Rights is our attempt to inform you of your rights.
Please read this document, as it is important you know what patient protections HIPAA affords all of us. If you have any questions about any of the matters discussed in this document, please do not hesitate to ask for further clarification. Please understand that you are responsible for your own understanding of these regulations and rights.
Release for Telehealth Services:
By signing this release, I am granting permission to receive Chosen's services with Telehealth, which includes using a secure online video platform or phone calls instead of meeting in person when circumstances are appropriate for doing so. Please know that sometimes there are technology issues that can prove challenging, and there is a slight risk that someone who isn't supposed to listen to our call or meeting could listen in. My signature acknowledges this risk.
Authorization
I have read the above information and wish to partake in Chosen Services with my assigned Care Manager. I understand that I have no financial obligation to Chosen Care for the initial two complimentary sessions. I understand that there is no obligation to continue services past these two sessions.
