Evaluate the use of the newest devices Formulate strategies for implementing technologies and confirming staff competency 6
7 Environmental Assessment: Do you need equipment or repairs? How often? Develop a schedule Who rounds? Areas of concern? Safety Huddles during shift change Environmental Assessment Tool Room Hand Rail secure Free of clutter Good Lighting W/C in good repair Bed wheels lock Bed Exit Functio ning Yellow Clip for Fall Risk, if applica ble #101 #102 #103 #104 Or any design of your own vs. VISN 8 s Injurious Fall Prevention Assessment Tool 7
8 Environmental Safety to Reduce Severity of Injury Hip Protectors Floor Mats Non-slip flooring Height-adjustable bed (in low position, except during transfers) Bed-rail alternatives (body pillows, assist rails) Raised toilet seats Elimination of sharp edges Use of safe exit side from bed (pt transfer to unaffected side) Use of alarms (bed, w/c) Pt access to mobility aides (walkers, canes) as appropriate Bathroom Safety Enough Grab Bars? How about folding grab bars? Elevated Toilet Seats Yes or No Toilet Alarms clips on emergency cords Non-skid floors with grit or traction kleen Rubber floor mats antimicrobial Padded walls and sharp surfaces?

11 Rubberized Flooring Technology and Equipment ADJUNCT to ASSESSMENT 11
12 Evaluation of Equipment Patient friendly Product safety Quantity and cost HOW DO WE PAY FOR THIS? Staff friendly All Services/Departments need to evaluate Easy to implement and clean Distribution How to Implement Do you have formal and informal support for change? Leaders must lead How will the new process or equipment impact the facility? Get staff feedback and involvement through: Plan-Do-Study-Act: Small cycles of change Early Adopters can help with assessment phase Advertise Advertise Advertise Provide lots of education and handouts 12
13 Lack of Adoption of New Processes/Equipment Staff education inadequate Staff turnover Too complicated Availability Central Supply vs. Unit storage? Supply?/Repair battery change Staff attitudes Improves quality of care, decrease costs, reduces patient pain/suffering Implementing Change Determine if this new process or equipment will make the job easier or less stressful? 13
14 Methods of Education Staff Meetings 15 minute show and tell Process or Equipment Demonstration with return demos or hands on practice Skill Fairs Develop How To Handouts include repairs Super Users identified as Trainers Discussion and Q+A time Add to New Employee Orientation Update Unit Handbooks or Facility Web Site Competencies Include not only ability of the operator but the SOP for cleaning. How will you accomplish this? 14
15 Other Considerations Keep list/spreadsheet of where products are distributed. Shift rounds to ensure equipment is turned on check for patient sabotage! Maintenance and inventory checks -how will that get done? Fall Prevention Assessment Universal Fall Precautions Care planning Arm bands Signage for high risk for injury Other Report/Assignment sheets/handoffs Intentional Rounds every hour- Environmental Rounds as discussed.

20 39 Fall Management - Record If an event happens (fall, near fall, etc) immediately document the occurrence and forward that to a secure location Fall Management - Investigate Review Fall Incidents Were Virtual BedRails armed? Was the fall risk scored correctly? When did the fall occur? When was the fall recorded? How fast did nurses respond? 20
21 Fall Management - Investigate Review Fall Video Why did this patient fall? What could we have done to prevent this fall? Was the staff effective in preventing the fall, or preventing further injury? Fall Management - Evaluate Evaluate Falls by Site and Risk Level Which units are experiencing the highest rate of falls? Are we using VBR effectively? Is our fall risk measurement effective? Where do we need to improve? 21
