A pilot programme networking the Community Mental Health Teams with the AMHU electronically had been commenced. An appointment texting service had been set up in outpatient service and this has reduced the incidence of non-attendance at outpatients by eighty per cent. A peer support worker had started to visit the residents on a weekly basis. Further enhancements were made to the garden area. PROGRESS ON RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE 2011 APPROVED CENTRE REPORT 1. All doctors and nurses involved in seclusion must be cognisant of their professional duties and responsibilities under the Rules Governing the Use of Seclusion. Outcome: Staff in the approved centre, as previously reported in the 2010 and the 2011 inspections, had failed once again to achieve full with the Rules Governing the Use of Seclusion. 2. The approved centre should comply with the Code of Practice on the Use of Physical Restraint in Approved Centres. Outcome: Structures had been put in place to ensure that all Physical Restraint Clinical Practice Forms were completed and placed in clinical files. However when next of kin were not informed of the resident s restraint, a record of why this had not occurred was not entered into resident s clinical file. 3. It must be documented in the resident s individual care plan why they are wearing night clothes during the day. Outcome: In the case of four residents it was documented in individual care plans the reasons why night clothes had to be worn. 4. All residents in hospital for six months or more must have six-monthly physical reviews. Outcome: No resident had been in the approved centre for a period greater than six months. 5. Curtains should be made available for the four single bedrooms which have an observation window in the door to ensure privacy for residents. Outcomes: Four single rooms had no curtain on the observation window of the doors. Page 3 of 53

Outcomes: Three occupational therapists on the sector teams admitting to the unit planned to provide greater input into the therapeutic services and programmes in the approved centre. The Activities Nurse had been replaced by an occupational therapy assistant. 7. Adequate ventilation should be installed in all en suite shower rooms to prevent dampness and the potential for mould. Outcome: A new ventilation system had been installed with positive results. Page 4 of 53

37 There was a failure by the service to have due regard for the safeguards provided for by the Rules Governing the Use of Seclusion. The clinical file of one current resident and one former resident who had been secluded were examined by inspectors. The seclusion register was examined. In the clinical file of the former resident there was no documentary evidence that this seclusion episode had been in the best interests of the resident or that the resident had posed an immediate threat of serious harm to self or others. There was no documentary evidence to suggest that the service had considered all other interventions to manage the resident s unsafe behaviour before deciding to use seclusion. For this episode of seclusion the medical notes were not clear so as to indicate the reasons why seclusion had been used. In the nursing notes, the reason for secluding the resident was documented as: Placed in seclusion for a period of assessment due to [their] ongoing maladaptive behaviour. photographic evidence was taken of these notes. In the two clinical files examined there was no documentary evidence that each resident had been afforded the opportunity to discuss the seclusion episode with members of the multidisciplinary team following seclusion. The Seclusion Register, in one instance of seclusion initiated by a registered nurse, had not been fully completed in that the date and the time that seclusion had commenced for this episode of seclusion had not been recorded, the approved centre name had not been recorded and the signature of the member of nursing staff who had initiated seclusion had not been recorded. This seclusion episode occurred 27 days prior to the day of inspection. Photographic evidence was taken. This copy of the Seclusion Register had not been placed in the resident s clinical file. For one episode of seclusion, although it was indicated in the seclusion register that the next of kin had not been informed, the reason for not doing so was not documented in the clinical file. The nearest toilet/washing facilities were some ten metres distant, across the corridor from a residents sitting room and a bedroom. There was no seclusion mattress in the seclusion room. It was reported that the old one had been damaged and had needed replacement. The service had purchased two new seclusion mattresses but it was reported that these were not suitably safe due to the design and were currently being stored in the ECT recovery room. The service had a written operational policy on seclusion. There was no documentary evidence in both clinical files that the episodes of seclusion had been reviewed by members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the residents care and treatment. All staff had been trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI). The seclusion monitor was in such a position outside the seclusion room so as not to ensure viewing was restricted to designated personnel. CCTV signage was not evident in the vicinity of the seclusion room. Breach: 1.1, 1.2, 3.3(b), 3.7, 7.4, 8.1, 8.3, 9.3, 10.3, 12.2(a),(b). Page 37 of 53

53 SECTION THREE: OTHER ASPECTS OF THE APPROVED CENTRE SERVICE USER INTERVIEWS One service user spoke with the inspectors. They stated that they considered the care in the AMHU to be of good quality and that staff listened to residents. OVERALL CONCLUSIONS Despite a perfectly adequate format for individual care plans, entries were sloppy, contained minimal information and had little multidisciplinary input. There was little evidence that the resident was involved in his or her individual care plan. This was a slippage since the inspection in The service had planned to carry out an audit on care planning and this should be done immediately. As identified in the inspections in 2010 and 2011, the approved centre continues to fail to pay due regard to the safeguards provided to residents in the Rules Governing the Use of Seclusion and this might warrant a re-inspection later in RECOMMENDATIONS Each resident must have an individual care plan as defined in the Regulations. The individual care plan must be fully completed, show multidisciplinary input, service user involvement and demonstrate that it is meaningful for the resident. 2. An audit on individual care planning should commence immediately. 3. Staff in the approved centre must ensure full with the Rules Governing the Use of Seclusion. This was a recommendation of the 2010 and 2011 inspection reports. 4. An audit on the use of seclusion in the approved centre must commence immediately. 5. Therapeutic services and programmes must be specified in each resident s individual care plan. Page 53 of 53
