Falls in the acute care setting pose clinical, legal, and financial challenges for all hospitals. Falls continue to challenge health providers, despite some noteworthy reductions due to best practice bundle implementation.
During this webinar, the Essential Hospitals Engagement Network helped hospitals understand how they can improve their opportunities for successfully reducing falls. Two essential hospital clinical leaders, from Eskenazi Health and San Francisco General Hospital, shared lessons from the the acute care setting, including the importance of:
- time of day
- visual cues
- staff education
- high-touch interventions
