The Effect of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting Program on the Use of Restraint and Seclusion

We did not find support for ownership moderating this effect. Additional research is needed to understand mechanisms of response and the impact of the program on nontargeted aspects of quality.
