Restraint Reduction in Long-Term Care
Presented by Medbridge
In this course, you’ll learn what a restraint is and the main types you may encounter in long-term care. The course will address why it is important to reduce their use and the limited circumstances in which they may be allowed. Finally, we’ll explore practices that build a restraint-free environment.
This course helps meet the regulatory standards outlined in the requirements for long-term care facilities 42 CFR § 483.10(e)(1), 483.12, 483.45(d),(e)(1) and (e)(3).
