WEBINAR: CMS Hospital Restraint and Seclusion
Course
Curriculum
Restraint and seclusion is a “hot
spot” with both CMS and the Joint Commission and is a common
area where hospitals are cited for being out of compliance. The
restraint policy is one of the hardest to write and understand in
health care today. This session will help simplify the CMS 50-page
interpretive guidelines. It will also provide a crosswalk to the Joint
Commission standards.
The speaker will discuss the
requirements for an internal log and will review what must be
documented in the medical record. She will also discuss the reporting
requirements for patients who die within 24 hours of being restrained.
