This presentation outlines Covenant Health's initiative aimed at developing a falls prevention and injury reduction plan for our 460 residents in Edmonton, AB. Led by Clinical Nurse Specialist Aimée Bourgoin, the objective is to achieve a 15% improvement in baseline fall measures, sustaining this improvement over three consecutive months. Our team, including executive directors and care managers, has reviewed past fall incidents and the effectiveness of our Green Leaf Program. We share lessons learned, challenges faced, and future sustainability plans, emphasizing the importance of ongoing education and evaluation in safeguarding our residents.

  5. Review Falls Change Ideas tested to date in your organization

  6. Review Falls Change Ideas tested to date in your organization (cont.)

  7. Measures • The riskiest fallers review for the Green Leaf • Program has taken place on one unit and there we • had pre-review data on the number of falls for the • Non-Green Leaf Fallers as well as for the Green • Leaf Fallers • The review happened in November 2011, so you • will see fewer Green Leaf falls after the review, but • now are we missing some other risky fallers?

  8. Lessons Learned on Sustaining Falls Improvement Work during Action Period • We must continue to review and revisit our falls initiative or it will not be a living • and important program for prevention for our residents. • We have a large building and when we try to work on an initiative throughout • that building we sometimes falter, taking on too much and not recognizing • individual differences for units. It is ok to work with a unit or group of units to • phase things in. • We need to take full advantage of opportunities to promote the program as they • come along, in our case, the ability to add some education time with an LPN • doing some peer teaching cannot be missed!

  9. Challenges to Sustaining Falls Improvement • Barriers—are time, & the belief that we cannot make a difference without more resources. • Facilitators—are that we can show staff that simple changes, such as the Green Leaf program re-visited, do make a difference to the care we provide to our residents. • Moving forward—we must count on needing to go backwards first, i.e. take the time to re-visit the plan & make it work for the new circumstances.
