Pa. Code 5240.13

Staff training plan

This section requires Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) agencies to develop, implement, and annually update a written staff training plan covering individual training plans tailored to each staff person's education, experience, and performance. Agencies must maintain documentation of all initial and annual training completions in personnel files and keep detailed records of agency-provided trainings including dates, trainers, topics, and materials. Training completed at another IBHS agency may be accepted in lieu of requiring staff to repeat the same training.
