Creating a comprehensive fall prevention program is within every hospital's reach when practical strategies and teamwork are used to provide a safe environment for care delivery. Successful fall prevention programs have measurable attributes, which include:
• Research-based risk factors that are applied at the point of care
• Consistent attention to environmental hazards for all patients
• Nursing and medical interventions aligned with reduction of fall risk factors for
individual patients
• Continuous learning about unit-specific fall occurrences derived from good fall data
• Effective communication of patient risk and teamwork among caregivers and across units — no matter where the patient is in the hospital.
Lets all work together to prevent patient falls in our hospitals and keep our patients safe during hospital visit.
