Fall Prevention in Long Term Care Part 1: Risk Assessment

Falls among older residents and other at-risk residents are very common. This program will cover the importance of making a risk assessment for each person in your care, and a risk assessment of the environment at the facility.
This is the first program in this Fall Prevention series updated with a new look and feel that can help you and your institution meet the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals for Long Term Care.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
- Identify the seven crucial screening factors that must be assessed to determine a resident's level of fall risk.
- Conduct a thorough risk assessment of the environment throughout the facility.
- Accurately identify which patients are at risk for trips and falls in a facility.
- Educate at risk residents and their family members about the specific risk factors associated with their condition, and review strategies to minimize them.
