1 FALL PROTOCOL Goal: to provide a mechanism for assessment of falls with a focus on prevention, prompt investigation and immediate interventions with care plan updates. Focus will be on knowing the residents personal preferences, daily plans and schedules and life work to better intervene to prevent falls. Upon admission all residents will be assessed for fall risk utilizing form. This assessment will be updated with each MDS completed. If the resident is at risk for falls, the care plan will note this with individualized interventions. If a resident falls, an incident report will be completed with the MD and the family notified. Immediately with injury and on the day shift otherwise. If a resident falls, an indepth investigation will be instituted by the charge nurse completing the incident report. Focus of this initial investigation is to weed out medical issues that cause people to fall (active UTI, drop in BP and new medications). An immediate intervention must be instituted while this process occurs. If a fall is witnessed by staff, the charge nurse will interview and document the exact specifics of what lead to the fall. The staff member will review the charge nurses summary of this interview and then sign and date the interview statement. The charge nurse will also sign and date the summary. The DON and Administrator will be notified for all witnessed falls due to potential for ANE issues. If a fall in unwitnessed, the charge nurse will interview each staff member and document their interactions with the resident from the beginning of the shift until the incident occurred. Each staff member will review the summary written by the charge nurse during the interview and sign and date the summary. All staff include: NA s, CMA s, charge nurses, RA s. etc. The unit manager or DON will then complete the investigation by reviewing the incident report, nursing documentation, discussions with therapies and the consultant pharmacist as needed and review all staff statements for potential abuse and neglect issues. A summary will be written regarding the outcomes found with corrective actions noted. The care plan should also be updated and/or revised, based on the investigation for every fall. Therapies and restorative programs should be considered with gait or balance issues that lead to the fall. Implement exercise classes that focus on gait and balance. Review wheelchair safety (locks, foot rests, tipping and proper fit) and safe use of electric wheelchairs. Review footwear in use. Consultant pharmacist will be notified regarding drops in BP and new medications started for their input regarding the cause of the fall. A log of every fall will be kept for the facility. Each resident who falls will have an individual fall log to analyze facility trends. Trend analysis will be presented at QA meetings. Audits will be conducted for staff follow through utilizing the protocol. Education regarding fall prevention and this protocol will occur in orientation and in inservice classes. Fall investigations can be kept in each residents chart or in a separate notebook with the resident s individual log. This information is shared with surveyors.
