Restraint Freedom

Good Evening,

We are in the process of evaluating our restraint freedom policies/program and I would be interested in what strategies other health systems have implemented.

Would anyone be willing to share any tools, assessments, order sets, etc. they have in place?

What role do medications play? Specifically antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics?

Any special considerations for mechanically ventilated patients? Brain injury?

Thank you.
