§ 50532. Documentation of Rights Denials.
(a) Each denial of a right for good cause, as provided in Section 50530 of this article, shall be noted in the facility's treatment record of the person whose right has been denied. This documentation shall take place immediately upon the denial of any right or, in the event of an emergency, in no case later than twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the denial. If an emergency does not permit immediate documentation, a Special Incident Report shall be submitted to the department setting forth the particulars of such emergency. In state hospitals, this Report shall be submitted through the clients' rights advocate. In any licensed health or community care facility, this Report shall be submitted through the clients' rights advocate for the regional center in whose service catchment area the facility is located.
(d) If the person lawfully entitled to leave the facility at the time of the denial elects to remain in the facility, it shall be recorded in the treatment record that the person was informed of his rights pursuant to Section 50530 (g) and (h). The notation shall be signed by the staff member who informed the person.
