safe from harm. Topics include:
 |
Clarification
of restraint use in clinical protocols |
|
Assessment requirements |
|
Alternatives to restraint
use |
|
Application and removal
competency |
|
Safety guidelines |

The “one-hour” rule |

JCAHO and Federal Standards |
Posey's facilitated seminar,
“Train the Trainer: Developing
a Successful Fall Management Program”
can be arranged with your Posey District
Manager by calling 1-800-44-POSEY. This
program is available in 1-hour and 3-hour
formats (available for C.E. Credit), and
can be taught at a location near you. |
|
Two self-study
programs are available: “Restraint
and Seclusion: Catching the JCAHO Spirit”
(catalog #8514) provides valuable information
on managing restraint and seclusion to comply
with JCAHO and Federal standards. The complete
program includes a video, workbook, and post-test,
and earns one hour of continuing education
credit upon completion. |
|
Also available
is the two-part video series, “Restraints
and Restraint Alternatives” (catalog
#8503). This program examines restraint
use under OBRA guidelines in long-term care
settings, and emphasizes precautions for safe
use. Programs can be purchased by calling
the Posey Customer Service department, and
are available for a no-risk 30-day evaluation. |
For more information
about these or any other Posey Continuing
Education Program, contact your Posey District
Manager or call 1-800-44-POSEY. |
