Develop
a Falls Prevention Program to Boost
Your Agency’s
Referrals & Outcomes Scores
Audio Conference • Thursday, May 24, 2007 • 2:00
- 3:00 p.m. ET
Problem: As the home care industry expands
and faces continued pay cuts, it’s becoming increasingly
important to develop programs to distinguish yourself from
your competitors while improving quality outcomes and preparing
your agency for P4P rewards.
Solution: Try developing a formal falls prevention
program. When Saint Elizabeth Home Care Services developed
a falls prevention program, the agency not only reduced its
emergent care for falls scores to 1.06% in 2006, down from
1.83% for 2004, but they also boosted orthopedic referrals
to 180 in 2006, compared to 130 in 2005.
Discover the key best practices this agency has implemented
including:
- Faxing falls report forms to physicians.
- Conducting a pharmacy review to check for high-risk medicines,
such as diuretics, blood pressure medicines, antidepressants
and sleeping pills, as well as unsafe medication interactions.
- Training home health aides how to safely transfer patients
in and out of the tub to prevent falls while aides are in
the home.
Also, find out how this agency boosted referrals by:
- Educating staff and residents of assisted living and retirement
centers.
- Adding falls prevention tips to Saint Elizabeth’s
Web site and admission packets.
Tools: Falls report form and falls prevention form used to market to assisted living and retirement communities.
