Fall Rate: 2.45 1.16 1.81 1.09
Number/year: 14 7 8 1
Range/month: 0-3 0-2 0-2 0-1
# of Months with 2 7 6 1
Zero Falls
Anecdotal reports from staff related to catching “near-falls” when making rounds
11. Hourly Clinical Rounding: Outcomes Measurement Patient Satisfaction:
Press Ganey Data (Percentile Scores All PG Data Base)
2006(pre) 2007 (post) 2008 (post)
