Continuous Monitoring and Real-Time Data Review of Falls Intervention Program
The fall intervention program identified areas needing improvement including a lack of multidisciplinary attention and the need for better identification of patients at risk. At the time, green wrist bands were the only means of identification. A newly created education program included a "STOP" sign at the patient doorway and over the bed. Staff, families, and visitors were educated, and the Fall Intervention Program was highlighted on individual patient wipe boards. Documentation of the fall risk assessment took place every 12 hours.
