frequent falls

Care Delivery Issues
Heart Failure:
Core Measure Compliance
Heart Failure Disease Navigation Program
Documentation- “acute or chronic”,
“systolic or diastolic”
Renal Failure:
Acute on Chronic
Nephrology consultation
Will need Dialysis- complicates care and
discharge planning
Cellulitis in a Diabetic:
Manage glucose during an infection
Patient ends up with osteomyelitis- will
require 6 weeks of intravenous
antibiotics-this will complicate discharge
planning- to home or to a skilled nursing
facility
Gait Instability:
History of falls. Fell while in hospital.
Importance of “out of bed” and physical
therapy to prevent deconditioning and
falls and to improve function and safety.
Will need fall assessments, physical
therapy- in hospital and post discharge
Complex patient. Will need coordinated team effort to ensure safe
and effective patient-centered care
Care Delivery Team
Review Assessments and Roles of:
1. Physician
2. Nursing
3. Case Management
4. Social Work
5. Physical Therapy
And how they all coordinate as a TEAM in providing
Safe, Effective, Efficient, Timely, and PatientCentered Care
Physician Assessment/Role
• Clinical Assessment, treatment plan, and
documentation
• Plan for the Day, Stay, and Way
• Work Rounds
• Multi-disciplinary Rounds
• Coordination of Care with Team
• Medication Reconciliation
• Patient and Family education
• Transitions of Care
Accountable Care Unit Model
Each Unit is geographic and has a:
• Unit Based Medical Director who has oversight for the
clinical, service, and cost outcomes of the Unit
• Partnered management with nurse manager/UBMD leaders
and structured multidisciplinary rounding
Accountable for:
• Efficiency of care
• Patient throughput
• Decreasing variation
• Use of clinical care guidelines
• Management of utilization
• And teaching
Interdisciplinary Plan of
Care - IPOC
• Focus : IPOC is patient focused and
disciplines add to the IPOC as they
become involved in the patient’s care
• Where : The IPOC is located in the Care
Plan tab of the Medical Record
Falls Prevention
• Any patient designated Low Risk or High Risk are
placed in the Fall Prevention Program- Morse Scale
used to assess fall risk
• The yellow armband (At Fall Risk) is placed on the
same arm as the patient ID band
• The Fall Risk Magnet is placed by the patient name on
the locator board outside the patient’s room and on
the door frame.
• Use of low rise bed and or bed alarms
• Assure assistance and supervision are provided with
elimination, transfers and ambulation
• Provide patient/family education
• Recommend referral to PM&R for safe ambulation and
transfer techniques
What happens if a patient
does fall?
• A Midas Incident/Event report must be done. It needs
specific information about the fall: Where, when, how,
injuries?
• Post Fall Assessment to be completed by the team
• Falls are tracked and trended because of the Midas
report
• The data is used to help us improve care
Close Observation
Level 11:1 Supervision-Suicide Precautions
Patient an immediate threat to self
Staff must be within arm’s length of
patient-including when in bathroom
Level 2Field of Vision/Visual Observation
Patient danger to self or others
At risk for elopement
Staff must be in same room/area
Visual contact with patient at all
times
2:1 observation permitted
Level 3Enhanced Safety Observation
Patient has delirium/dementia without
violent behavior
May have impulsive behavior requiring
more frequent observation
Staff must observe whereabouts,
behavior, and patient condition every 30
minutes
Level 4Fall Precautions
Morse scale to identify fall risk
Staff must observe whereabouts,
behavior, and patient condition every 60
minutes
Collaborative effort to reduce falls
Notify RN if you assess any changes in
patient’s mobility
Telemetry & Pulse Oximetry
• Two classifications for telemetry
– Class I (e.g. a-fib, a-flutter, certain medications)
• If the patient needs to be transported, he/she must be on a
cardiac monitor and accompanied by nurse or doctor (or both)
– Class II (e.g. other diagnoses requiring monitoring)
• The patient can be transported off telemetry and without a nurse
or doctor
• All patients requiring telemetry will have a patent IV access
• Pulse Oximetry:
– Verify the physician order for both telemetry and continuous pulse
oximetry (pulse ox)
– The order must include acceptable range for saturations
Discontinuing Telemetry
• Patients eligible for removal of telemetry monitoring
will be reviewed at shift report
– Criteria for removal has been established under the
direction of the Cardiology Medical Director
• If patient meets criteria after 48 hours on telemetry,
then an order must be obtained to discontinue
telemetry
• House staff/resident will be notified
– Attending physician has the option of reordering
telemetry
