From Team Charter
Find a screening tool for falls screening
Reduce falls by 40%
100% of all new clients will have a falls risk screening completed upon admission
100% of clients with documented falls will have a prevention and or injury reduction plan
Change Ideas
List Changes you have tested during Falls VLC PDSA Cycles:
1- Initiated trial of the Morse Falls Scale on all new admissions and continue to use for all new admissions
2- PT trialed the Tinetti Balance tool with 1-2 clients who scored moderate to high risk on the MFS
3- OT reviewed an environmental tool and trialed with 1-2 clients who scored moderate to high risk on the MFS
4- Correlated the PST score and the MFS score for October and November client intakes where both tools used
5- Educated all Nursing staff on the MFS
MeasuresRelated to Aim
Use Morse Falls Scale on 100% of all new admissions
Identify clients with moderate to high risk factors for injury/falls
Initiate OT/PT referral for clients who scored moderate to high
Implement care plans and target interventions to reduce risks specific to those individuals
