Is your team challenged with residents who have frequent falls? Are you struggling to find interventions to help residents be safe and have independence too? Perhaps, you are looking in the wrong place. The challenge may not be with the residents; it may be with the Fall Prevention Program and the systems we have in place to support our residents and staff. Learn how to conduct a root cause analysis of your system and improve that. Refurbish your action planning process. And build a monitoring system that includes thresholds and checkpoints to continuously sustain and improve your Fall Prevention Program.
