Under 21 — additional requirement: If this incident involves abuse or neglect, a mandatory report to the local public children services agency is required. The classification output will flag this.
A physical intervention by staff — even one intended to protect the individual — may constitute an unapproved behavioral support MUI under OAC 5123-17-02 and OAC 5123-2-06, independent of whether the underlying incident meets MUI criteria. This is one of the most commonly missed classification pathways.
A medical clearance from a nurse or physician is a significant factor in classification. If on-site medical staff evaluated the individual and found no significant findings, that directly affects whether MUI criteria are met for injury-based incident types.
