Fall Prevention Clause Samples
Fall Prevention. 58. The State shall ensure that Ft. Bayard residents are not exposed to unreasonable risk of harm associated with falling.
59. The State shall assess each resident, upon admission and periodically thereafter, to determine whether the resident is at risk for falls.

a. Develop and implement a proactive, individualized fall prevention plan;
b. Include the residents’ fall prevention plans in their care plans;
c. Provide each resident with adequate supervision to prevent falls to the extent reasonably possible;
d. Ensure that each resident receives adequate and appropriate assistive devices to prevent falls;
e. Utilize adequate safety devices to prevent falls; and
f. Take actions to ensure that the residents’ environment remains as free of fall hazards as is possible.
60. Anytime a fall occurs, the State shall, in a timely manner:
a. Assess the resident’s health status and take any measure necessary to ensure the health and well-being of the resident;
b. Complete an incident report and submit it to the Director of Nursing and/or her designee;
c. Notify the resident’s family/responsible party;
d. Investigate the fall and determine the possible cause(s) of the fall, and identify and implement any appropriate measures to prevent similar falls from occurring in the future;
e. Maintain records of all falls at Ft. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, including: the date and time of the fall; the specific cause of the fall, if known; the identity of the nursing staff member or members who were involved in the treatment of the resident at the time of the fall; and any follow-up education provided to these staff members; and
f. Analyze the data on a monthly basis, and take actions to eliminate, to the extent possible, the causes of falls.

Fall Prevention. Protecting patients from falls and injuries is the responsibility of everyone. In late Summer ’05, UMH instituted a Fall Reduction Program, which is an important safety and quality of care issue. Our program has 3 levels of Fall Risk – Low Risk (0-5 points), Moderate Risk *(6-10 points) and High Risk (>10 points). There are different interventions for each level (see accompanying chart). Patients at Moderate and High risk for falls have a “falling star” magnet placed on their doorframe and will wear a yellow bracelet *(Moderate Risk) or a red bracelet (High Risk) to help identify them. Risk assessments are done on admission, every shift, upon transfer and after a fall by licensed nursing personnel. Patients at Moderate and High risk sign a Fall Risk Patient Information Form advising them of their risk and to seek help for activities. An Environmental Safety Checklist is completed before a patient is admitted to a room by a RN, LPN or Care Associate. A Post Fall Assessment is completed after a fall, as well as entering the incident into the General Occurrence Reporting System. The hospital has purchased many products that will help in protecting patients from injury and reducing falls.
