Healthcare Association of Hawaii is hosting this webinar. Providing care to those living with dementia in nursing facility settings can be complex and rewarding. Having an understanding of various approaches to deal with challenging behaviors is important and impactful to the resident’s quality of life.
Best practice standards indicate that dementia behaviors should be managed without the use of physical or chemical restraints; however, when they are deemed necessary staff members must have knowledge of current CMS regulations and documentation requirements. The interdisciplinary team must make efforts to reduce psychotropic drug use as appropriate and provide compassionate and person-centered care in compliance with regulatory standards.
Join us as we examine strategies to manage challenging behaviors from those living with dementia and discuss physical and chemical restraints, documentation standards, interdisciplinary approaches, and maintaining quality of life in accordance with regulatory compliance.
1. Define and describe consequences of physical and chemical restraints
2. Identify strategies to mitigate physical restraint use
3. Describe CMS regulatory requirements related to psychotropic drug use
4. Explore how to apply practice strategies to facilitate the reduction of psychotropic drug use
Interdisciplinary team members working in post-acute and long-term care settings
