From the supplier: The use of restraint and seclusion can be markedly reduced in children's psychiatric hospitals without increasing medication use. Staff at the Virginia Treatment Center for Children, a public child psychiatric hospital, believed restraint and seclusion for aggressive patients to be both necessary and effective. The research literature says otherwise. A task force implemented change through education, improving intrastaff communication, persuasion, policy revision, and engaging patients' families in care. Now restraint is almost never used and the seclusion rate is halved while medication use is also down.
