Since they are full
siderails on both sides I would probably code as a restraint. Then do all
the restraint paperwork, and write good notes.

Subject: RE: QUESTION ON SIDE RAIL CODINGwe always code 2 rails in use but NOT as restraints - our bed controls are on them (built in) and most use the rails to turn in bed so they are assistive devices-----Original Message-----Hi Everyone I am looking for an answer quickly since the state surveyors are in the building. If side rails are required on a specialty bed (full rails times 2) but are not used as a restraint do you code this on the MDS under section P for device/restraints. Thank You
