The following program content was provided by the speaker.

Overview

Hospitals must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Conditions of Participation. According to CMS and accrediting organizations such as Det Norske Veritas and The Joint Commission, one of the most-cited condition-level deficiencies is for patient rights and responsibilities. In that condition, most noncompliance deficiencies come from the regulations governing abuse, restraints and seclusion.

Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

    • describe abuse investigation requirements
    • describe the documentation requirements for restraints and seclusion
    • explain CMS definitions of abuse, restraints and seclusion
    • explain restraint death reporting requirements
