Fall Prevention. Protecting patients from falls and injuries is the responsibility of everyone. In late Summer ’05, UMH instituted a Fall Reduction Program, which is an important safety and quality of care issue. Our program has 3 levels of Fall Risk – Low Risk (0-5 points), Moderate Risk *(6-10 points) and High Risk (>10 points). There are different interventions for each level (see accompanying chart). Patients at Moderate and High risk for falls have a “falling star” magnet placed on their doorframe and will wear a yellow bracelet *(Moderate Risk) or a red bracelet (High Risk) to help identify them. Risk assessments are done on admission, every shift, upon transfer and after a fall by licensed nursing personnel. Patients at Moderate and High risk sign a Fall Risk Patient Information Form advising them of their risk and to seek help for activities. An Environmental Safety Checklist is completed before a patient is admitted to a room by a RN, LPN or Care Associate. A Post Fall Assessment is completed after a fall, as well as entering the incident into the General Occurrence Reporting System. The hospital has purchased many products that will help in protecting patients from injury and reducing falls.
