Elopement
“Elopement” refers to the ability of a resident (who is not capable of protecting himself/herself from harm) to successfully leave the facility unsupervised and/or unnoticed and enter into harm’s way.
The National Institute for Elopement Prevention and Resolution
![Page 156: Focus on Quality - North Dakota Department of Health](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020703/61fb2ff72e268c58cd5b3084/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
156
Elopement
All elopement policies & response plans need to be unique and written for the facility in which they are to be implemented.
Failure to do so places that facility at a higher risk for litigation regarding elopement incidents.
