Hospitals failed to report to CMS 44 of 104 documented deaths
related to restraint and seclusion between August 2, 1999, and
December 31, 2004. We received information from CMS, State survey
agencies, Protection and Advocacy agencies, and the Food and Drug
Administration concerning 104 behavior management-related deaths
associated with restraint and seclusion that occurred during this time
period. Hospitals did not report 44 of these deaths directly to CMS. Of
those deaths that hospitals reported directly to CMS, fewer than
one-third were reported timely....And no one paid attention then.
