Description
Restraint and Seclusion is a hot spot with both CMS and the Joint Commission and an area where hospitals are frequently cited as non-compliant. This program will discuss this most problematic standard.
CMS has fifty pages of interpretive guidelines on restraint and seclusions for hospitals. Every hospital that accepts Medicare patients will have to comply with the regulations even if accredited by the Joint Commission, HFAP, CIHQ, or DNV Healthcare.
Any physician or provider who orders restraint must be trained in the hospital’s policy. Both CMS and Joint Commission require hospital staff to be educated on restraint and seclusion interpretive guidelines on an annual basis. CMS also says that restraint training must occur before a staff member/provider can apply or remove restraints and must be ongoing so it cannot occur at orientation only. There are ten pages of training requirements.
Finally, this program will briefly cover The Joint Commission standards on restraint and seclusion, many of which fall closely with the CMS Conditions of Participation.
