What is the Fall Management Program? The Fall Management Program is a preventative strategy that employs interventions to prevent falls. Upon admission, each client is assessed using the Fall Risk Assessment Tool. If the client is identified as a fall risk, the Fall Management Program is initiated.
Program Goals • To create a safe environment. • To identify patients at risks. • Initiate preventative measures. • To involve participation of clients, their families and stakeholders.
Why are we doing this Evaluation? • There has been no evaluation to date. • Are the current interventions working?
Stakeholders/Primary Users • Clients/families • Staff • Managers/Senior Managers
Primary Users of the Evaluations • Board • Accreditation Canada • Safer Health Care Now
Evaluation Purpose • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Fall Management Program
Evaluation Question • Is the program effective in reducing the numbers of falls?
Next Steps? These will be dependant upon results of the evaluation. • Trial the Morse Scale, which is an established best practice tool. • What are the strengths? • What are the weakness? • What are the programs accomplishments? • Are the outputs worth the inputs? • How consistent is the implementation of the program?
