Chapter 6162Inventory of involuntary care recordings In organisation A, the inventory of involuntary care was conducted by MDET-experts, whereas other organisations opted for alternative personnel to fulfill this task. %u201cFirst, the process supervisors identified involuntary care used within each care home. We used Schippers%u2019 list for this purpose (ed. Schippers et al., 2018). What do we actually have on restrictive measures and which part of that is involuntary care? Because those are still two different things. That was very helpful. It raised awareness.%u201d (Organisation D)Across all four organisations, MDET-coordinators had concerns regarding updating involuntary care recordings, because care professionals did not see this as feasible during COVID-19, nor as a priority. In all organisations, the process of reducing involuntary care was monitored during the action phase of MDET. The MDET coordinator of organisation A mentioned that this phase could take a long time, posing challenges for MDET experts to follow progress. The extended duration of the action phase also posed difficulties in achieving a clear conclusion about the ending of MDET in care homes. In some cases, even after a year or longer, the highest attainable level of reduction of involuntary care had not yet been reached, complicating the process of formally finalizing the method with the teams and updating the records of involuntary care. Consultation plans with client and team interventions In all organisations, consultation plans were drafted; however, only in organisations A and C plans were formulated by the MDET expert, while in organisation B the plan was written by the behavioural specialist and care coordinators already responsible for clients%u2019 care, and in organisation D the process-supervisor took charge of writing the plan. All consultation plans suggested client interventions aimed at reduction of involuntary care. Similarly, team interventions were proposed in all plans, except for organisation D. Meetings to reach consensus about client- and teaminterventions with all team members of a care team were achieved only in
