Don’t slip up. Reduce falls and injury from falls
|
About 40 per cent of older adults who are hospitalized have suffered from a fall, and approximately 7 per cent of these admissions result in death. Identifying possible risk factors and implementing a falls prevention program can lead to a measurable difference. That’s why RNAO is teaming up with Safer Healthcare Now! and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute to reduce falls. We invite you to participate in a national call. Learn more about this initiative by attending an information session on August 17, 2010 or September 9, 2010. |
Nurses know it’s important to reduce the number of falls and fall related injuries.RNAO sounds alarm bells on changing models of care
|
In our correspondence and meetings with health-care organizations, we have been sharing the importance of nursing staffing models that secure continuity of care and continuity of caregiver, using RNs for the total nursing care of unstable patients with unpredictable outcomes, and RPNs for the total nursing care of stable patients with predictable outcomes. Read RNAO’s materials on this issue including letters to the hospitals. RNAO is also looking for your stories. Is your workplace being affected by staffing model changes? Tell us about your experience. more>> |
