residents’ electronic personal file. This file contained all information of a resident including written plans and forms. Forms are displayed as a fixed format and used to include information concisely. The form on which components of daily care were noted was used to include coercive measures on which no consensus was obtained. Support staff members were asked to use the description of coercive measures corresponding with the list of 57 coercive measures in order to obtain information in an unambiguous way. Plans of professionals or support staff members are displayed as written text, without a template.
Analysis of data
In order to validate the conclusions from the first part of the study, a panel of stakeholders discussed the psychometric outcomes. Records were made and findings were used to achieve an optimal registration of coercive measures in a mandatory routine registration system.
In order to test the success of the implementation of the new registration system, correspondence of the new routine recording of coercive measures with the coercive measures as described and approved in the residents’ electronic personal file was analyzed by comparing the number of coercive measures of the different sources of the electronic personal file. In addition, type and number of coercive measure registered in the system were compared to the results of the first part of the study.
