Time Limit on Time out for patients

Specialties Psychiatric

Published

Please help answer this if you can as I've been reading everything with no real answer. Is there any LEGAL time limit on how long a patient remains in open door Time Out room.

I've learned the hard way that I'm not going to change the S/R climate of an institution. If their policies are too far out to sea I just move on. Keep a good reference and leave the door open for when things change (and they will). Good luck, it's not easy out there.
