摘要
Hospital inpatient falls are common. The literature shows that there is no single intervention that makes a significant difference. This paper reports on a case study of a large National Health Service hospital where an improvement methodology (Plan, Do, Study, Act) was used to introduce a checklist approach, combined with intentional visiting (intentional rounding) of high risk patients every hour by nurses. Initial success was limited but once a formal training programme was implemented a significant reduction in falls within the hospital occurred.
