4 Falls Collaborative Related Goals Kristus Darzs was a part of the National Collaborative on the Prevention of Falls in Long Term Care. Leisureworld Richmond Hill followed the collaborative goals and interventions. 1. Both organizations aimed to lower the number of falls by 40%. 2. Both homes aimed to decrease the severity of injury sustained from falling. 3. Both homes implemented and achieved RNAO s best practice guidelines.
5 Unique Approaches Team Granny Smith! Apples fall from trees, and residents fall from one level to another! The apple theme provided us with visual cues and healthy snacks to provide during team meetings and staff education PDSA (plan, do, study, act) approach! Started in 1 home area (the home area that had the most frequent fallers) and worked our way through the whole home.
6 Falls Assessments & Logos Action Plan Fall assessments created with clear RAI MDS language and were completed for all our residents. High risk residents were identified by putting an apple logo on the spine of their charts and on their nameplates outside of their room Education was done for staff and residents Results After those first couple of changes the # of falls fell dramatically Soon after, a survey was taken of the staff to test their knowledge surrounding the apple what did it mean? What we found was that part time nursing staff and the housekeeping departments needed some more in servicing on what the apple meant. Which led to. Morning Huddles every morning at 9:15 all staff met for 5-10 min to discuss falls, potential risks for falls, and solutions.
7 Hi Low Beds Action Plan When we started the project we had high low beds in the building When used correctly with the right residents we saw a decline in falls Kristus Darzs due to a fundraiser and a generous donor we have purchased high low beds for the entire facility residents and staff couldn t be happier! Budget accordingly Challenges Ensure you get to all staff to inform them on how to use the bed correctly and safely for them and the residents Assessing the proper heights for all residents to get in and out of bed if they are self-or one person transfer Cost we were lucky that we could purchase them for everyone, if not budget accordingly Safety- making sure there are lock out functions on bed controls for those residents with cognitive impairment.
8 Room Changes Action Plan Look at residents that were becoming frequent fallers and determine if you are able to move them closer to the nursing station We were able to do a couple of room changes and placed these residents closer to the nursing stations One resident has not fallen since! Challenges The less you move residents the better. Not always an option Upsetting other residents and their families
9 Family Involvement Action Plan Family BBQ s and family councils to educate about the collaborative and the positive changes Encouraged families to take away furniture that was not needed in the residents rooms Floor mats were removed Proper footwear was purchased Families to purchase hip protectors for their loved ones Challenges Residents can be stubborn. And family members can have little input on what their loved one does Resistance to wearing proper footwear. Resistance to wearing hip protectors
10 Communication Communication was the hardest part of the collaborative and the program itself Making sure that everyone knows what s going on Making sure that we investigate a fall find out the reasons why and share this information amongst others Informing everyone if a resident has a change of status higher risk of falling then before.
11 Interventions Ensure you implement multifactorial interventions to prevent future falls; Establish a Falls Committee that meets on a quarterly or as needed basis for analysis and brainstorming of future interventions; Ensure you have established a policy and procedure and is shared with all front line employees on a yearly basis (or as required); Meet with your service provider-increase your physiotherapy visits; If not already in existence, ask your therapy service provider to provide the home with an OT on a regular basis who would follow up on referrals with your falls prevention program and least restraint programs; Purchase sample hipsters and ask families to purchase for their loved one;
12 Exercise is always a good idea! Group Exercise
13 Did You Know? Studies have shown least restraint use both physical and chemical restraints may reduce the # of falls per person;
14 Interventions Continued Eliminate full/half side rails as these are not used for falls prevention, purchase assist rails; Vitamin D/calcium supplementation or for those that cannot or will not afford this offer a multi-vitamin from government stock; Ensure to include your external supports when investigating post fall, i.e. physiatrist, doctors, outside educators, families, vendors; During a Resident Council and Family Council meeting ask your therapy service provider to provide education Environmental modifications and preventative strategies including de-cluttering a space, improve or leave lighting on and ensure proper footwear; Falls Prevention 5-10 minute huddles during report; The use of anti- sliding sheets while resident is in their wheelchair, to prevent residents from sliding out of their wheelchairs; The use of bed, chair alarms, floor mats, high/low beds
15 Central LHIN Priority Emergency Department and Alternate Level of Care What the future would look like: Reduce ER visits by targeted group Improved triage and admission process Reduce unplanned re-admission rate to emergency departments Reduce ER wait times and achieve targets identified for admitted patients Reduce delays in placement to appropriate level of care settings
16 Central Integrated Health Service Plan -Embedding Quality in Our Planning 1. Patient Centred- we will promote patient and family centred care and culturally appropriate programs We do this by.

Strength in numbers- Use a multidisciplinary team approach. Frontline staff are your best resource.
18 Central Integrated Health Service Plan -Embedding Quality in Our Planning 3. Population Based- Our plans and strategies are based on our current and projected demographics and focus on improving population health. We do this by Having these unique approaches ingrained in our day to day culture will prepare our homes for the changing demographics in Long Term Care.
19 Central Integrated Health Service Plan -Embedding Quality in Our Planning 4. Safe- We will participate in and foster quality improvement and risk management programs that are geared towards ensuring safe health care within our region. We do this by Use your stakeholder meetings as a forum to share your fall approaches, challenges and outcomes. i.e. Falls Collaborative, LHINS, CCAC, OHQC, RNAO
20 LTC sector supporting Falls Prevention (Sustainability) Be transparent and openly share knowledge with your peers Take advantage of your local and regional resources Be excited about trying new approaches even though you may encounter challenges along the way. Keep it as a top priority as soon as it loses focus falls will begin again. Overall, we will be able to use these unique approaches as they relate to the facts and stats!
