AHRQ’s Safety Program forNursing Homes: On-Time Falls PreventionFacilitator Training Introduction to Falls Reports

Falls PreventionElectronic ReportsElectronic ReportsFalls High-Risk Report Summary of Fall Risk Factors (by Unit or Facility) Contextual Factors Report (by Unit or Facility) Postfall Assessment Report (by Resident) October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 2

Teaching the Falls Prevention Electronic ReportsThe teaching sessions for each report should include the following content: Purpose of the report Content of the report Calculation detailsQuizzes and exercises October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 3

Postfall Assessment Data ElementsRequired data elements include: The date and time of the fall.The name of the person who witnessed the fall, OR the name of the person who found the resident (if the fall was not witnessed).The location where the resident fell. The position the resident was found in. The activity the person was engaged in when he or she fell, if the fall was witnessed. October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 4

Postfall Assessment Data ElementsAdditional data elements include:Suspected cause of the fall. Description of any injury and treatment. Physician notification and examination. Family notification.Physical therapy evaluation, if indicated. October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 5

Postfall Assessment Data ElementsThese data are typically collected and documented in a facility’s EMR by staff immediately after a resident’s fall. Facilities should work with their EMR vendors to determine how and when these data are currently documented. October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 6

Falls High-Risk ReportProvides a weekly snapshot summary of facility residents at highest risk of fallingEnables staff to be more proactive, consistent, and accurate when identifying residents at risk Helps clinicians see changes in resident status earlier, and identify residents at risk before they fall October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 7

Falls High-Risk ReportHow many residents triggered for highest risk of falling?What are the most common risk factors? Which acute change was seen most often? Least often? How many residents at highest risk are cognitively impaired? Have no cognitive impairment? How many residents at highest risk had a change in status during the report week? October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 8

Falls High-Risk Report:High-Risk CriteriaRisk criteria identified based on: A review of the literature Fall elements and scoring from existing instruments Input from an advisory panel of leading experts and nursing home users October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 9

Falls High-Risk Report:High-Risk CriteriaRisk determined based on a combination of the following elements: Presence of existing conditions considered high risk A change of condition of one or more risk elements New contributing risk factors October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 10

Rules for Determining High RiskRule #1: High Risk Based on an Existing Condition Within 90 Days:Residents will be flagged as “high risk” using this criterion if they have at least 3 of the 4 following conditions: Severe cognitive impairment or unsafe behaviors Gait and balance instability A history of falls within the last 180 daysUse of psychoactive medications October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 11

Rules for Determining High RiskRule #2: High Risk Based on a Change of Status Within 7 Days: Residents will be flagged as “high risk” using this criterion if they have at least one high-risk existing condition and one of the following changes in status: Acute mental status change New unsafe behaviors New gait/balance problem or mobility device New fall New medication or dosage change Orthostatic hypotension/ dehydration Vertigo/dizziness Syncope fainting Hypoglycemia Possible infection New seizure activity New admission October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 12

Rules for Determining High RiskRule #3: High Risk Based on New Contributing Risk Factor Within 7 Days:Residents will be flagged as “high risk” using this criterion if they have at least one high-risk existing condition and one of the following new contributing factors: New or uncontrolled pain New or increased urinary incontinence Increased independence in mobilityRoom change October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 13

ADL Changes and Additional InfoSupplementary information about activities of daily living Included in the Falls High-Risk Report but not used in calculations of high risk October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 14

ADL Changes and Additional InfoIncludes changes in last 7 days:Decline in bed mobility, transfer, or toileting Symptoms of depression Low body mass index Significant weight changeAn active physician’s order for vitamin DOsteoporosis DiabetesVisual impairment October 2017 On-Time Falls Prevention 15
