Re:Topic 7 DQ 2

It is an important to determine the effectiveness of fall prevention program that has been reduce the fall rates because it would help to recognize if the fall prevention program bundle has been working or not. The measurement of outcome provides a method of assessing the impact of a process and measure if a fall program is working negatively or positively (Quigley & White, 2013). Outcome of implementation plan will be measured by tracking fall rates, cause of falls, minor or severe injury from falls, repeat fall by type of fall, repeat fall by patient, reduction in modifiable risk factors, and staff education. This would be report to staff quarterly during staff meeting to update how we need to improve or work together to reduce fall rates. All staff will receive the questionnaire after receiving fall prevention education to ensure that learning has taken place. Not only that, fall prevention bundle and individual fall intervention plan will be measured by keeping track to ensure that which plan is the most effective. The comparison of the data would help to determine whether the interventions are effective or not or plan for fall prevention needs to have better implementation. This way we can measure outcomes as well as continue perform assessment and monitoring the progress in reduction of fall rates. All staff would be held accountable for the following procedure and participate to apply interventions to reduce fall rates in medical surgical departments.
