The measure reports the percentage of all long-stay residents who were physically restrained daily during the 7 days prior to the target MDS 3.0 assessment (OBRA, PPS or discharge) during their episode of nursing home care ending in the target quarter (3-month period). Long-stay residents are identified as residents who have had at least 101 cumulative days of nursing facility care.
The numerator is the number of long-stay residents with a selected target Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (assessments may be OBRA, PPS or discharge) who have experienced daily physical restraint usage during the 7 days prior to the selected assessment, as indicated by MDS 3.0, Section P, Item P0100, subitems B (P0100B – Trunk restraint used in bed), C (P0100C – Limb restraint used in bed), E (P0100E – Trunk restraint used in chair or out of bed), F (P0100F – Limb restraints used in chair or out of bed), or G (P0100G – Chair prevents rising).
