PATIENT RIGHTS

Tag No.: A0115

Based on document review and interview the facility failed to meet the Condition of Patient Rights by inappropriate use of restraints and failure to report a patient death in a restraint, placing all patients at risk for loss of their rights. Findings include:

--- (see A-154) Restraints were utilized as a convenience to prevent falls for 2 (# 4 and #9) of 3 inpatients and 4 (#5, #7, #10, and #14) of 6 discharge patients with a total universe and review of 9 medical records where restraints were utilized as a part of the patient's care.

--- (see A-159) The use of "Net Bed" as a form of fall prevention for 1 ( #4) of 1 inpatients and 2 (#7, and #10) of 2 discharged patients with a total universe and review of 3 medical records where the "Net Bed" was utilized as a part of the patient's care.

--- (see A-174) Failure to discontinue restraints at the earliest possible time for 3 (#4, #9 and #10) of 8 patients with a total universe of 8 patients reviewed where restraints were utilized as part of the patient's care.

--- (see A-213) Failure to meet restraint death reporting requirements for 1 (#7) of 1 patients that expired while restrained in a "Net Bed."

USE OF RESTRAINT OR SECLUSION

Tag No.: A0154

Based on document review and interview, it was determined that the facility was using or had used restraints as a form of convenience (to prevent patients from either getting out of bed or falling out of bed and per family request) for 2 of 3 open records (#4, #9) and 4 of 6 closed records (#5, #7, #10, #14 ). The review consisted of a total universe of 9 restraint records reviewed. The facilities actions resulted in a loss of the patient's right to be free from restraints. Findings include:

Patient #4:

At 1400 the "Restraint Order and Flow Record, Medical ", order for the "soft limb restraint x 1 to the left arm" was discontinued.
At 1900 the "Restraint Order and Flow Record, Medical for the "Net Bed" was written (five hours after discontinuation of the soft wrist restraint). The "Restraint Order and Flow Record, Medical ", states that "reason for restraint use, unable to follow safety instructions."
Review of a physician progress note for 02/07/2014 in the section titled "Plan" reads "1. We will obtain a 'net bed' for further fall precautions."

Staff C stated "It is pretty obvious that restraints are being used to keep patients in bed to prevent falls."

On 02/18/2014 at 1500 a review was conducted of Vibra of Southeastern Michigan policies titled "Restraint Use- policy # PC-NUR-05-010- Revised date Mar 2012, Patient Safety Plan (Fall Risk-policy #PC-NUR-05-013-revision date 12/2012 and Fall Prevention & Management Program-policy # PC 11.00- revise date 2/13."
