Despite numerous prevention efforts, inpatient falls remain a
leading adverse event in hospitals and other inpatient settings,
resulting in a loss of function, higher health-care costs, and even
death. Physical therapists and PTAs play an important role in
identifying those at risk for falls and preventing falls in all
settings. In this course, discover the issues unique to the inpatient
setting. You will identify some of the injuries and costs associated
with falls, the common risk factors, and the Joint Commission
strategy for addressing patient harm resulting from falls. Also
covered: the value of multifaceted vs. single intervention
programs.
