No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of our project is to prevent patient falls by translating an individual patient's fall risk assessment into a decision support intervention that communicates fall risk status, and creates a tailored evidence-based plan of care that will be accessible to members of the care team to prevent falls.

Conditions

  • Patient Falls

Interventions

OTHER

Fall Prevention Tool Kit prototype using a randomized design

Based on the results from Phase 1, Phase 2 and consistent with the literature that suggests that multifaceted, tailored interventions are most effective against inpatient falls, the FPTK prototype will be comprised of two interrelated components 1) The Fall Risk Alert and Communication Plan (translates an individual patient's fall risk assessment into a decision support intervention that communicates fall risk status to team members.) and 2) The Patient Safety Plan of Care PSPOC (translates an individual patient's fall risk assessment into a decision support intervention that creates a tailored evidence-based plan of care). The goal of the FPTK Intervention is to communicate risk status and recommended tailored discipline specific-interventions to prevent falls.
