  • 1.  Sitter usage

    Posted yesterday
    We utilize sitters from our home health staff to sit with patients in our acute care hospital.  The patients have failed a virtual sitter and it is necessary to have an in person sitter with them. 
    Does anyone have guidelines that are used for sitter needs?  Perhaps a checklist to use if the patient meets criteria for a sitter?
    Thank you.
