As the newly hired manager of a 60-bed sub-acute nursing unit, you have been tasked to create a Fall Management Program that will reduce the rates of resident falls by 30% in the next quarter. As you study the monthly quality assurance data, you note the following trends:Monthly fall rates average about 40 falls; this number exceeds the state and national average for comparable settings by almost 50%The average age of the residents who sustained a fall is 77The average length of stay on this unit is 4 weeks as most residents come for short term rehabilitation following hospitalizationMore than half of the falls last month occurred in the resident bedrooms and another 30% occurred in their bathrooms40% of the falls over the past 3 months occurred on weekendsFive residents accounted for almost a third of the fallsDescribe how you will achieve your goals using a systems approach. What other data would you look at before planning your interventions? What approaches would you take? How would you implement this new program (a change initiative) to ensure enduring success? What systems would you put in place to evaluate its effectiveness? Differentiate between those interventions that are individual-based vs. systems-based (i.e., organization-wide).Note: please see attached files (pdf of the textbook and instructions)
