2 Fall Facts The average cost of a fall with injury is $33,785 Fractures following falls account for 35% on non fatal injuries, but 61% of the costs By 2020, the cost of fall related injuries may reach $32.4 billion nation wide. One study demonstrated that the higher the inpatient satisfaction levels with the quietness of the hospital environment, the lower the injurious fall rates.
3 Reason for action A3 Reason for Action: Burning Platform Increase in Falls and Severity of Injury Initial State Genesis Tool 1999 Homegrown Risk Assessment blurry Risk Assessment and Interventions confusing Yellow versus Red
4 Initial State A3 Qualitative Confusion on Policy Emotional Distress Inconsistent Hand-Off communication Inconsistent Quantitative 271 Falls No Harm 85 Falls required intervention 59 temporary harm and intervention 6 temporary harm- prolonged hospitalizaton 2 deaths 250/424 could be related to lack of prescribed interventions
5 Target State A3 Reduce falls by 50% No Serious Safety Events Related to Falls
6 Gap Analysis A3 Root Cause: Confusion in policy and management of patients at risk for falling Stoplight tool Communicates "red" as high risk- new tools all "yellow", confusing Admission assessment 'loose' Assessment does not clearly I.D. interventions Trip ticket to radiology unclear Poor decisions- 2 person transfer 1 person set-up Lack of knowledge on use of bed alarms Lack of use of chair/bed alarm/bathroom supervision together Yellow gown initiated without linking Hurried/busy staff General lack of knowledge
