What exactly does it take to have a successful and sustainable fall prevention program?

As facilities of all types can attest, patient falls continue to be a challenge. They are a constant fixture in The Joint Commission’s list of top 10 sentinel events; and in fact, they were the third highest sentinel event reported to the accreditor in 2016.

Causes of falls can include inadequate assessments, side effects from medications or diseases, and environmental hazards, as well as a lack of leadership or staff orientation.

Getting a single, comprehensive guide on establishing a more effective fall prevention program at your facility, one that goes beyond mere checklists, has been a challenge—until now!

Patient Safety Strategies: Evidence-Based Practices for Fall Prevention takes you step-by-step through setting up a successful and sustainable evidence-based multidisciplinary fall prevention program to protect patients.
