CMS Compliant for Non-Restraint

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services mandate that you administer a safe, hazard-and accident-free environment within your facility at all times, and that adequate supervision and monitoring be implementd to reduce the risk of resident accidents and injuries. Adequate supervision may vary from resident to resident, and from time to time for the resident, depending on the circumtances. Tools and equipment such as personal fall prevention alerts or resident monitoring systems help to manage the risk of resident accidents by alerting caregivers to respond when a resident accident is imminent. Key Information regarding the use of monitors or alarms. It is vital to know that the use of fall prevention alerts remain approved for use except when used as a restraint. It is pertinent to educate the Staff and Resident of the use of the alert systems and being part of their care due to their condition(s); and, to assess the resident to properly identify the resident’s needs. “Federal regulations and CMS guidelines do not prohibit use of physical restraints in nursing homes, except when they are imposed for discipline or convenience and are not required to treat the resident’s medical symptoms”. “CMS is committed to reducing unnecessary physical restraints in nursing homes and ensuring that residents are free of physical restraints unless deemed necessary and appropriate”. “The use of an alarm as part of the resident’s plan of care does not eliminate the need for adequate supervision, nor does the alarm replace individualized, person-centered care planning”. TCMS’s RAI Version 3.0 Manual To respond to the CMS regulations and help prevent a “Never Event” in your community, it is imperative that you take a strategic approach to reduce risk, and implement a community-wide process that addresses the education and supervision needs of each resident’s care.
