Description
This presentation is designed to strengthen clinical decision-making and interdisciplinary accountability in fall risk identification and prevention. The information goes beyond routine screening tools to emphasize critical thinking, timely reassessment, and resident-specific risk analysis. Participants will explore how clinical changes, medication, environment, and systems of care interact to increase fall risk, and how gaps between assessment, care planning, and implementation contribute to adverse outcomes.
Objectives
- Identify key factors contributing to fall risk
- Link assessment findings to individualized, effective fall prevention interventions
- Recognize documentation and communication gaps that increase fall risk
- Apply interdisciplinary and QAPI principles to analyze falls and reduce occurrence
