title: Behavioral facilities solve special needs for restraints.
abstract: Representatives from two behavioral health facilities say adhering to restraint and seclusion standards presents unique problems. One facility keeps track of all restraint patients in order to identify trends, and a multidisciplinary committee meets monthly to review the collected data. At another hospital, a performance improvement project ensures that staff members take the least restrictive approach to support the patient's highest level of independence and functioning.
