About Webinar Planet
Webinar Planet is an online training platform that provides most affordable and updated information, knowledge, updates, regulations to professionals across industries.
The Joint Commission announced that this is one of the four top areas of focus and their data shows that hospitals are receiving many RFIs in this area. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has promulgated requirements for hospitals to prevent ligature risk and self-harm from patients that are suicidal. A 13-page memo was issued, and the hospital manual was amended. Any hospital that received Medicare, which is most hospitals in America, must implement these changes for all patients. Every hospital should attend this informational webinar by industry expert Laura A. Dixon, BS, JD, RN to create a ligature free environment. It is now a hot area and there is a lot of survey activity around the prevention of suicidal patients from harm or strangulation. During the webinar, Laura will also discuss the CMS proposed 15-page guidelines changes for 2020.
Additionally, Laura will discuss CMS amends tag numbers 144 inpatient rights and tag 701 in facility services. This includes what units need to be ligature resistant. It covers what patient assessments must be done and what should be in the environmental assessments. It discusses education and policy and procedure requirements. If you have a highly suicidal patient and the room is not ligature resistant do you have a 1:1 sitter? Hospitals that do not will need to change their policy and process and budget for this.
Joint Commission has 16 requirements to ensure compliance with its standards. Laura will discuss them in detail and include psych hospitals, behavior health units, general acute care inpatient units, outpatient units, and emergency departments. She’ll also discuss the zero suicide campaign. The TJC sentinel event alerts on suicide, NPSG 15, and final changes July 1, 2019, and Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) on ligature risk will be covered. This includes one related to whether video monitoring is ever allowed. Again, the Joint Commission announced that this is one of four areas of focus, so hospitals need to have this issue on their radar screen and be prepared.
Additionally, Laura will provide resources and tools to assess patients to determine if they have suicidal ideations.
