Overview:

The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission (TJC) require hospital staff to be educated on restraint and seclusion, and these topics continue to be major concerns for both CMS and TJC. CMS and TJC have also promulgated requirements for hospitals to prevent ligature risk and self-harm from patients who are suicidal. This session will provide resources to aid hospital staff in achieving compliance with the CMS and TJC requirements regarding restraint and seclusion. Participants will also learn how to assess a facility’s ability to meet safety requirements and assess patients for risks of self-harm and suicide.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  • Define the CMS restraint requirement of what a hospital must document in the internallog if a patient dies within 24 hours of having two soft restraints placed on the wrists.
  • Recall that CMS requires that all physicians and others who order restraints must beeducated on the hospital policy.
  • Describe that CMS has restraint education requirements for staff.
  • Discuss that CMS has specific items that need to be documented in the medical record for the one-hour face-to-face evaluation on patients who are violent and or self-destructive.
