Restraint Monitoring

When a patient needs to be restrained for their own safety or the safety of others, thorough documentation is essential. Effective April 14, 2021, after the first initial assessment for a restrained patient is documented, required re-assessments you need to complete now appear in the Brain and on the Work List. 

On the Brain, click on the flowsheet assessment icon, then the Document button or flowsheet link. This will direct you to the flowsheet containing the required assessment documentation fields. 

In the patient's open chart, click on the Work List tab across the activity bar to open the list of required tasks. Locate the Restraint Monitoring task. Click on the Doc button or the flowsheet icon to open the required documentation fields.
