Population-based Approach to Fall-Injury Prevention: Translating Evidence into Practice
Dr. Patricia A Quigley
Tuesday, May 17th
Hospital organizations can lead changes in patient-centered practices that are protective and promote patients’ independence, function and social integration. Conference participants will be introduced to strategies to profile the protective nature of care, while understanding and managing risk. Conference participants will be asked to change practice to integrate current evidence-based strategies to reduced fall and fall injury risk. Three research-to-practice exemplars will inspire adoption of population-based, individualized fall prevention programs to mitigate and eliminate risk, the true measure of program success.
Conference Participants will be able to:
- Summarize Evidence-based Fall Prevention Practices
- Differentiate Fall from Injury Prevention Practices
- Showcase 3 Injury Prevention Programs: From Science to Implementation
