The following is a concurrent session from the ALFA 2011 Conference & Expo, April 5, 2011 in Orlando, Florida.
Description:
No longer can senior living operators think of “fall prevention” as an exclusive clinical aspect of caring for
the individual. New thinking and philosophy must focus on mobility management and a holistic approach to
preventing injury that involves all team members.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn effective strategies to minimize falls and injuries.
- Review evidence-based screening tools used in mobility assessment.
- Take away specific ideas for implementing environmental and cultural changes necessary for benchmarking and improvement.
