  11. Lessons Learned on Sustaining Falls Improvement Work during Action Period • What advice would you give to other teams? • Expect to have resistance from staff (poor buy-in) • Be aware of your population (cognitive impairment, increased wandering, frailty) • Be realistic when establishing goals. (SMART) • Be patient, don’t get overwhelmed “Rome wasn't built in a day”  • What are your key insights? • Effective & efficient communication by all stakeholders • Continuous education • Continual change with your population

  12. Challenges to Sustaining Falls Improvement • What were some barriers? • Diverse demographics • Environment (structural layout) • Staff buy-in • Staff turn-over • What are some facilitators? • Excellent committee members (great commitment) • Up-to-date policies and procedures (reviewed annually) • How do you propose to move forward? • By sustaining our Fall Leaf Program to achieve our goal of decreasing falls by 25% from average of 17 falls per month to 12 and an average of 2-3 falls with injury per month to 0-1 per month. • To continue to have monthly Fall Committee meetings to review collected data, analyze and make necessary changes • Keeping in compliance with Residents First and Best Practices
