Restraint, Seclusion, Ligature & Suicide Risks: Complying with the CMS CoPs & TJC Requirements
This educational activity is jointly provided by AXIS Medical Education and the
North Carolina Healthcare Association
This webinar is being offered in cooperation with the Georgia Hospital Association
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 a major concern for both CMS and TJC. The leading area of deficiencies in the CMS Conditions of Participation is regarding restraints. CMS and TJC have also promulgated requirements for hospitals to prevent ligature risk and self-harm from patients who are suicidal.
Resources to aid hospital staff in achieving compliance of the CMS and TJC requirements regarding restraint and seclusion will be provided in this session. Tools to assess a facility’s ability to meet safety requirements and assess patients for risks of self-harm and suicide will also be included in the presentation.
Target audience:
CEO's, CFO's, COO's, CMO's, CNO's, Physicians, Compliance Officer, Joint Commission Coordinator, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager and Legal Counsel.
