Reduce the risk of patient
harm resulting
from falls
- Implement a fall reduction program and evaluate the
effectiveness of the program. A full fall program should identify
protocols for every area and population, i.e. should include bed-chair,
bed-space transfers
Improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers
- Implement a standardized approach to “hand-off” communications, including an opportunity to ask and respond to questions
- A “hand-off” communication is a contemporaneous, interactive process of passing patient-specific information from one caregiver to another or from one team of caregivers to another for the purpose of ensuring the continuity and safety of the patient’s care
