Self Harm Patients

Hi!  When pediatric patients are hospitalized post a self-harm event and waiting for transfer to a psych center, what measures are used for those patients at risk for elopement, after de-escalating interventions have been unsuccessful?  What is the procedure for a minor running out of the room, that provides for the safety of the patient and staff?  What role does hospital security play, if any?  Thank you!

    Someone needs to have eyes on the patient, physically present, 24/day, until transferred to psych unit.

    I know this is an old post, but your answer applies to any unsecured unit or environment, at least from my experience in my world. I've seen complacency of staff lead to sad outcomes too many times.
