The first step in handling a complaint/refusal
What is to list. The patient wants to be heard first. A lot of control is taken away from patients in the hospital, so just listening to them can make a big difference.

Fall risk level everyone automatically falls under in the first 12 hours

Activation of STAT alert alarm more than 3 times in 30 minutes
what is exclusion criteria for safety view
Used for Elevated and Highest risk patients who can demonstrate removal
what is a seat belt alarm/ Roll belt /Lab belt
How often we chart ROI
What is Q12hr and as needed for changes in condition (increased confusion, procedures, etc)

What are the 4 E's for patient refusal
This will automatically generate when you chart a declination of care
What is a nursing or significant event note
Hospital, Patient name,MRN, camera number, room number, reason for monitoring
what is safety view setup
Verify green light is on this before leaving the patient
what is chair/bed alarm
How often the model runs a report on the current information in the chart
What is every four hours.
However, the nurse does not need to verify precautions at each file
Escalation required on the 1st time patient declines under this risk tier.
What is the highest Risk
must be charted under intervention after a fall
what is post fall documentation
Staff must wear a working device for NPS to work properly
What is a locator
