Popis: The authors discuss an interdisciplinary project to reduce the use of restraints in an acute care setting. They describe the process, beginning with initial planning and then working and evaluation phases. Common patient problems often requiring restraint are identified, with suggested solutions. Outcomes of the project were that fall rates did not increase and the use of restraints decreased by 83%.
