Join us for an overview of the Fall TIPS (Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety) Program and its impact on falls reduction in acute care settings.
The TIPS Program is a nurse-led, evidence-based fall prevention intervention that uses bedside tools to communicate patient-specific risk factors for falls and uses a tailored prevention plan. The toolkit provides care team members with the information they need to routinely engage in the fall-prevention process.
Objectives
- Examine the issue of fall prevention in hospitals, and how Fall TIPS can help address this.
- Review the evidence behind Fall TIPS, how to use the Morse Falls Scale to conduct a fall risk assessment, and the Fall TIPS auditing process.
- Discuss the results of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)-funded Patient-Centered Fall Prevention study.
- Discover how to join the Fall TIPS Collaborative to receive the Fall TIPS Toolkit, training, and implementation materials.
