Hospital Fall Prevention Programs

Even if the population of all developing countries ages, the impact of falls continues to be a major problem for society and health systems (Oliver, 2009). According to the National Aging Institute (NIA), nearly 500 million people worldwide were over 65 years old in 2006. By 2030, this number is estimated to reach 1 billion, and developing countries will grow fastest. This problem is only worth because elderly people are the fastest growing sector of the US population. Every year, 25% to 39% of adults over 65 years old are estimated (Keskin et al., 2008).

Fall is the largest category of incidents reported by hospital. Fall turnover rate and injury rate for inpatient depends on patient population, patient risk factors, presence of fall prevention program and intervention, and definitions of toggle rate indicators used in hospitals. The strongest forecast in fall is the previous decline. The cost of falling is high and it helps to increase medical expenses. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to exceed the $ 19 billion cost of fall injuries for people over the age of 65 and expects a fatal decline of $ 200 million. A fall may have a serious effect on the individual's ability to become a member of the family, community, or society. Patient falls are the second most common cause of hospital injuries and are incidents of the largest category reported by the hospital.

Injuries from hospital falls and falls are the most frequently reported adverse events among inpatients. Because falls are a sensitive measure for nurses and nurses play an important role in this part of patient care, it is important to measure and improve fall prevention measurements at hospitals. Discuss the core characteristics of the model and explain the framework for applying the concept of reliable organization to the fall prevention program, such as judging the influence on patient, department, organization level. In this article I will explain the components of patient safety culture and their components and their integration with fall prevention, nurse's role and high reliability.

Abstract The use of patient caregivers to directly observe patients at high risk of falls is recommended as part of the fall guidelines based on some evidence. However, the clinical and cost effectiveness of the babysitter program is questioned. Analysis of data from 75 hospitals participating in the hospital and health system association showed a statistically significant relationship between reduction and prevention of joint decline, prevention of low fallover rate and use of the nanny program (P <0.05). There is also a statistically significant correlation between the low injury rate and the design factors of the three specific nanny projects: the criteria for determining the quality of the infant, the training program for the nanny, and the establishment of the nanny group <0.05) was established. Provide tools to help hospitals develop business cases to implement and maintain babysitter programs
