Cost of Falls
Non-Conformity Overview
Hire more staff to improve staffing issues and prevent fall risk.
• The organization will increase staff by hiring per-diem (or on-call) employees who are able to come in to fill in for staff that are out
for illness, family matters, and miscellaneous time off:
• Maintaining adequate staffing levels will help the organization ensure that staff are able to communicate effectively because they
are not stretched thin caring for patients.
• Improved staffing allow better responses to our patients when they need help in a timely manner.
• Improved staffing will also allow our staff to regularly attend compliance training so they are current on any CAPA, safety
requirements, and federal and state laws
Training of staff on protocol and safety practices contributed to the fall risk.
• All staff are required to complete mandatory annual compliance training on fall prevention and patient safety.
• The organization is required to communicate and keep their staff up-to-date on any changes to policy regarding fall prevention and
patient safety.
• Compliance Hotline is once again shared to report any potential wrongdoing.
