Can anyone tell me how they go about doing 15 minute checks on their units? Do you do them every 15 minutes or stager them and if so how is it worded in your policy? I would appreciate a sample of your policy and your form that you document on. We currently have a prefilled time on our form which obviously from a legal standpoint if something is not documented in "real time" this could be an issue. Please help!
Does anyone have an elopement policy they can share, we have had a recent situation which revealed to us that we don't have a clear cut process to follow if an elopement occurs, we would like to create one for both child/adolescent and adult and for both involuntary and voluntary populations. Any assistance would be appreciated.
