Program Description

Learning Objective: To educate healthcare professionals on the very latest information available regarding evidence-based alternatives to the use of restraints


The use of restraints in the healthcare setting can severely harm the patient, as well as undermine the trust that is essential in a patient/caregiver relationship.

Regulations by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and standards by The Joint Commission, stress that the use of restraints is a last resort and that alternatives to restraints must be explored and implemented. Featuring leading expert Elizabeth Capezuti, PhD, RN, FAAN, this program highlights evidence-based strategies for alternatives to restraints.

After viewing this program staff will be able to answer these important questions:

  • What is and what is not considered a restraint?
  • What are the triggers that lead to problematic behavior?
  • How do you assess and evaluate the patient's behavior?
  • What are de-escalation techniques and how are they applied?
  • Why is appropriate monitoring and assessment essential?
  • What are practical alternative interventions?
  • What are the documentation requirements for CMS and The Joint Commission?
