1228.31 Forensic Psychiatric Unit
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Forensic units shall have security vestibules
or sally ports at the unit entrance. For "secure treatment
facilities", alternate designs for locked unit access
without individual sally ports, may be approved by the
enforcement agency when it can be demonstrated that the
alternate design meets performance requirements, without
compromising any health or life-safety requirement.
Forensic unit areas
for pediatrics and adolescents shall be separated from
adult areas. Refer to Section 1228.30.
Specialized program
requirements may result in additional treatment areas,
police and courtroom space, and security considerations.
When a forensic unit is provided, the needs of the patient
population and special requirements shall be specifically
addressed in the Patient Safety Risk Assessment.
