Speaker: Sue Dill Calloway, RN, MSN, JD
Preventing falls and fall-related injuries are important issues for all hospitals. Patient falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for patients over 65 years of age. The goal is to reduce the number and severity of falls while increasing mobility. It is important that all healthcare facilities be up to date on the current evidence-based literature to reduce and prevent falls. Falls are an important patient safety and risk management issue and the No. 1 hospital-acquired condition.
Every hospital should have a falls team. Does yours?
