Building a restraint and seclusion reporting platform sounds great, however, if you don’t understand or know how to determine the: • Initial platform build cost • Development of national recording criteria & definitions • Testing • work hours • training needs • technical support • ongoing maintenance • resources for analysis and dissemination and others we could list then you won’t have the funding required to implement any meaningful recording and reporting. Without a full understanding of these costs up front, the system risks becoming an unfunded mandate that looks good on paper but fails in practice. #AgainstRestraint #KnowHowToLegislate #BudgetWhatYouBuild #ImplementationMatters
