Program Description
Restraint and Seclusion is a hot spot with both CMS and The Joint Commission and a common area where hospitals are cited for being out of compliance. The restraint policy is one of the most difficult to write and understand in health care today. CMS has issued extensive interpretive guidelines on restraint and seclusions for hospitals on April 11, 2008, and October 17, 2008. This webinar will simplify and take the mystery out of the restraint and seclusion interpretive guidelines, and will provide a crosswalk to the July 1, 2009, Joint Commission standards.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Define the changes to the CMS restraint guidelines including the requirement that all deaths which occur while the patient is in restraints or within 24 hours after must be reported to CMS.
- Recall that CMS requires that all physicians and others who order restraints must be educated on the hospital policy.
- Describe the new CMS restraint education requirements for staff including the hospital requirement for first aid training and what training the RN who does the one hour face to face visit must have.

CNOs, CMOs, COOs, compliance officers, nurse educators, medical staff coordinators, risk managers, patient safety officers, senior leaders, hospital general counsel, quality improvement directors, Joint Commission coordinators.
