State Operations Manual (Pub. 100-07), Ch. 3 § 3006.3
Directed In-Service Training
3006.3 - Directed In-Service Training
(Rev. 1, 05-21-04)
3006.3A - Purpose
(Rev. 92, Issued, 11-22-13, Effective: 11-22-13, Implementation: 11-22-13)
Directed in-service training is a sanction that may be used when the SA concludes that
education is likely to correct the deficiencies. This remedy requires the staff of the
ICF/IID to attend in-service training program(s). The purpose of the directed in-service
training is to provide knowledge required to achieve compliance and remain in
compliance with the CoPs.
3006.3B - Appropriate Resources for Directed In-Service Training
Programs
(Rev.92, Issued, 11-22-13, Effective: 11-22-13, Implementation: 11-22-13)
Facilities should use programs developed by well-established organizations of intellectual
disabilities, developmental disabilities, mental health or health services education, such
as special education departments in colleges or universities or schools of medicine, State
departments/bureaus of mental health/ intellectual disabilities or developmental
disabilities; Developmental Disabilities Councils; Federally funded State protection and
advocacy agencies serving people with developmental disabilities; professional
organizations with expertise in developmental disabilities, and a State may provide
special consultative services for obtaining this type of training. The SA may also compile
a list of resources that can provide directed in-service training and could make this list
available to facilities and interested organizations. Facilities may request to use training
resources internal to the organization, if the trainer was not directly involved with the
area sanctioned. Examples of directed in-service training topics include, but are not
limited to, client rights issues, behavior intervention, active treatment, health and safety,
and outcome measures.
3006.3C - Further Responsibilities
(Rev. 1, 05-21-04)
The facility bears the expense of the directed in-service training. After the training has
been completed the SA will assess whether agency staff has demonstrated competency in
the area(s) of deficiency and whether compliance has been achieved. If the facility still
has not achieved substantial compliance, the State may impose one or more additional
sanctions.
3006.3D - Notice of Imposition of Directed In-Service Training
(Rev. 1, 05-21-04)
Directed in-service training may be imposed 15 calendar days after the facility receives
notice of this sanction. The SA will determine time frames for completion of the directed
in-service training.
