Abstract

1. Seclusion and restraint must be a last resort, emergency response to a crisis situation that appears to present imminent risk of harm to the patient, staff, or others. 2. JCAHO-accredited hospitals billing for Medicare or Medicaid must meet HCFA requirements to maintain compliance. 3. Policy writers and administrators must carefully scrutinize all applicable regulatory standards to ensure all requirements are met.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
