Notes on Methodology
Based on data submitted by Designated Hospitals to the Department in compliance with department requests for submittal of Certificates of Need (CON) following emergency involuntary procedures for patients located on Level 1 Units and electronic bed board data submitted to the Department for Level 1 Units. Procedures for seclusion, restraint, and emergency medication meet criteria defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for clients involuntarily admitted to Vermont Designated Hospitals.
Ratio calculation:
Numerator: Total number of hours that psychiatric patients were in seclusion or restraint (restraint includes all manual and mechanical)
Denominator: Total patient hours on Level 1 units divided by 1,000 patient hours
