How to determine time a person sits with a 1:1 patient?

By Sara Dolan posted 20 days ago

  

How does your organization determine the amount of time a staff person stays with a 1:1 patient?

1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 12 hours?  Is there rotation? 

How is it determined?  Do you have a process?

There is no specific time frame, they can sit until the patient is no longer exhibiting the behaviors that required the 1:1 and will contract for safety

Edit: Do you mean how long of a shift the sitter actually takes? They can sit for their entire shift, usually 12 hours.
