2 Call Don t Fall: Implement a Culture of Safety and Cost Benefit Savings in Your Fall Reduction Initiatives Haupt, Salazar Falls and related injury continue to be a challenge for healthcare teams. Annually in the United States there are over 800,000 hospital falls. The monetary cost of falls estimated for Medicare alone totaled over 31 billion dollars. A single fall with a related injury is estimated to cost a facility over $30,000 dollars. It is important to identify gaps and conduct root cause analysis and system re-improvements related to trends occurring in the units or with individual patients. Interprofessional teams are focusing not only on the cost savings but the many physiological and psychological effects on patients and families associated with the fall. 1. Identify the impacts of falls and why they occur within our organizations. 2. Describe challenges and barriers in promoting falls initiatives for patients and staff. 3. Discuss best practices and successes in creating a fall program focused on a culture of patient safety. 1. Cost, lost days of work, psychological. 2. Hard to convert the costs in to real-time understanding of why the fall occurs, making people understand the importance of the initiative within and without the organization, the psychological issues when practitioners start worrying about falls and cause other issues. 3. Examples of programs and people that have been successful on a personal and/or organizational level in decreasing or ending falls through collaboration and program promotion.

Thorough Integration of the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool (BMAT) Through Case Studies Perez, McGann This session will begin with a live demonstration of the bedside mobility assessment tool and then present and demonstrate several case studies to allow the audience to better understand the critical thinking skills needed when performing this clinical assessment. Examples of this will include that BMAT with patients who have limb amputations, stroke, cognitive or behavioral concerns, weight baring limitations and other considerations that require adaptation of the tool while maintaining its reliability and validity. Education on the complex integration of several risk tools including skin, fall and mobility will be performed due to the common confusion often seen after roll out of the BMAT. After the presentation the learner will: 1. Describe the steps and purpose of the BMAT in depth to form the foundation for proper implementation of the tool in various complex circumstances. 2. Understand the adaptations to the assessment tool that maintain the integrity, reliability and validity of the assessment. 3. Participants will be able to adapt the BMAT and train others to adapt this tool to fit the vast majority of their patient population. 4. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complex integration of the BMAT into a successful patient fall and caregiver injury prevention program that integrates fall scales, skin scales and the BMAT. BMAT Steps and Purpose-A demonstration and explanation of the rehab science behind each portion of the BMAT. Level 1 Trunk Stability, Balance and Equilibrium Level 2 - Leg strength, ankle flexibility and reaction Level 3 Standing balance, pain, fear, physiologic response to standing and balance Level 4 Pre-gait readiness, egress, stepping reactions. Adaptions through Case Studies Several Patient Case Studies will be presented and the BMAT will be demonstrated for each case. Discussion of each demonstration including the science behind each alteration will be discussed in detail including why these adaptions maintain validity. Adaptions that do not maintain validity will also be discussed. Education and Problem Solving Q& A of various complex mobility assessment issues will be discussed with audience participation about how to alter the tool while maintaining its validity and reliability. Results from a multi-hospital survey will be shared to demonstrate common BMAT acceptance and barriers from implementations at various stages. These will highlight best practices and lessons learned. Falls Skin and Mobility Complex

5 Repositioning: The Last Frontier in Safe Resident Handling in Long Term Care Katz, Fragala Research has shown the patient/resident repositioning task as one of the highest risk activities related to musculoskeletal injuries in all occupations. Yet many of our patients/residents require frequent repositioning due in part to the increased severity and complex medical conditions and care that is required. This is the story of how an organization over a span of 10 years has matured from the use of draw sheets to the creation of a six product plus guideline for moving their patients/residents. 1. Identify risk factors in their health care setting to justify a repositioning program. 2. Discuss some of the current research and supporting data that supports a repositioning program. 3. Have a basic understanding of some of the products used to reposition patients/residents and why we chose them. 1a. Ergonomics and dangers of "boosting in bed"; 1b. Patient/resident need for repositioning from a pysical and emotional standpoint. 2a. The hands on approach of how to develop a repositionng program will be shared. 3a.

Due to the current healthcare climate, there is an opportunity to integrate patient safety initiatives. Healthcare workers often face multiple, concurrent initiatives aimed at improving care and safety of patients. Combining SPHM, Early Mobility and Fall Prevention initiatives into one comprehensive program can help remove the apathy, indifference and poo compliance for the benefit of the patient, healthcare workers and the hospital/organization. 1. Elucidate the use of the ANA National Standards to establish a culture of safety and create a sustainable program; Describe the role of SPHM in both early mobility and fall prevention programs for the patient and healthcare worker injury prevention for the clinician; Demonstrate the tools utilized to develop and sustain a successful SPHM/Falls Program 1. safe patient handling, patiient falls, early mobility. 2.
