Explanation:
Implementation Team and Unit Team need to state their plans for implementing best practices. In this section, "best practices" are those care processes that, based on literature and expert opinion, represent the best way we currently know of preventing falls in the hospital.
Team members should reach consensus on the following questions:
Which fall prevention practices should you use?
Which universal fall precautions should be applied throughout the hospital?
How should a standardized assessment of fall risk factors be conducted?
How should identified risk factors be used for fall prevention care planning?
How should you assess and manage patients after a fall?
How can your hospital incorporate these practices into a fall prevention program?
This section helps your organization address these questions. Further information regarding the organization of care needed to implement these best practices is provided in section 4 and additional clinical details are in Tools and Resources.
Recognize at the outset that implementing these best practices is a complex task. Some factors that make fall prevention challenging include:
Fall prevention must be balanced with other priorities for the patient. The patient is usually not in the hospital because of falls, so attention is naturally directed elsewhere. Yet a fall in a sick patient can be disastrous and prolong the recovery process.
Fall prevention must be balanced with the need to mobilize patients. It may be tempting to leave patients in bed to prevent falls, but patients need to transfer and ambulate to maintain their strength and to avoid complications of bed rest.
Fall prevention is one of many activities needed to protect patients from harm during their hospital stay. How should fall prevention be reinforced while maintaining enthusiasm for other priorities, such as infection control?
Fall prevention is interdisciplinary. Nurses, physicians, pharmacists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, patients, and families need to cooperate to prevent falls. How should the right information about a patient's fall risks get to the right member of the team at the right time?
Fall prevention needs to becustomized. Each patient has a different set of fall risk factors, so care must thoughtfully address each patient's unique needs.
