Guide for use: | Any return to mechanical or physical restraint after an initial intervention has ceased is recorded as a new event. Total number of restraint events is intended to enable reporting of a proposed national Developmental MHS Performance Indicator: Rate of physical and mechanical restraint. The proposed calculation for rate of restraint is the total number of restraint events divided by the total accrued mental health care days during the reference period, multiplied by 1,000. This data element is used in conjunction with the data element Specialised mental health service—type of restraint event, code N to gain information about the number and type of restraint events consumers experienced during admission to specialised mental health public acute hospital units. Aggregate totals for the number of restraint events should be reported against the appropriate restraint type (including 0 where no events of that type occurred), with use of the supplementary code (Code 9999) where a particular restraint type is not applicable. |
