Description:
Patient falls continue to remain the largest single category of reported incidents in hospitals, making falls prevention a vital National Patient Safety Goal from The Joint Commission. And under Medicare’s new payment policy to take effect in October 2008, hospitals will no longer be compensated for treating certain preventable conditions acquired during patient stays, including injuries from falls. But by educating nurses about fall risk and assessment and implementing a falls prevention program, your staff can keep patients safe and exceed compliance requirements.
