Reducing physical restraints in pediatrics: A quality improvement mixed-methods analysis of implementing a clinical debriefing process after behavioural health emergencies in a Children's Hospital
Introduction
An increasing number of pediatric patients with mental and behavioral health (MBH) conditions present to Emergency Department (ED) and inpatient settings with behavioral events that require physical restraint (PR). PR usage is associated with adverse outcomes. Clinical debriefing (CD) programs have been associated with improved performance but have not been studied in this population. After implementing an MBH-CD program in our Children's Hospital, we aimed to decrease the baseline (7/2018-3/2021) rate of a second PR episode (2PR) by 50 % in the ED and inpatient settings over two years.
Methods
A multidisciplinary team implemented an MBH-CD process in April 2021 for hospital teams to use immediately after behavioral events. We included patients ≤18 years old, with an ED or inpatient discharge MBH diagnosis, between July 2018 and June 2023. Pre- and post-implementation secondary outcomes included the ED median duration of PR and the ED PR time per 1000 h of ED care. ED and inpatient mean length of stay (LOS) and mean monthly visits (MMV) in pre- and post-implementation were also compared. Qualitative analysis identified major themes.
Results
Post-implementation, the ED significantly decreased 2PR rate by 67 %; in inpatients, no significant change was demonstrated. Median duration of ED PR decreased from 112 to 71 min (p = 0.006) and ED PR time significantly decreased by 82 % (14.8 to 2.7 h per 1000 h). In the post-implementation period, mean LOS (ED and inpatient) and MMV (ED only) were significantly higher. Fifty-one percent of 494 behavioral alerts were debriefed. Median debriefing duration was 6 min (IQR 4,10). Common themes included cooperation and coordination (23 %) and clinical standards (14 %).
Discussion
Clinical debriefing implementation was associated with significant improvement in ED patient outcomes. Inpatient outcomes were unchanged, but debriefings in both settings should enable frontline teams to continuously identify opportunities to improve future outcomes.
