What the review examines
- Fall risk assessments (such as the Morse Fall Scale) on admission and after changes
- Precautions ordered and actually in place: alarms, low bed, assistance, toileting schedule
- Sedating medications and recent changes
- Supervision, rounding and call-light response
- Post-fall assessment, neuro checks and imaging, especially with anticoagulation
- Notification of the provider and family and the post-fall huddle
- For nursing homes: the care plan and federal requirements on accidents and supervision (F689)
Proposals come from license-verified medical-surgical nursing nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
