Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among elderly patients. For patients who suffered a fall while trying to get out of bed, these accidents can have serious consequences and cause additional family conflict. Their families are deeply concerned about their safety.
Falls can be prevented, but only with a proactive approach. Case managers should ensure that patients at high risk for falls undergo regular fall risk assessments and have access to necessary mobility aids like bed alarms and proper footwear. Educating both patients and their families about fall prevention strategies is crucial in setting realistic expectations.
CareSync's team can mediate between the family and the care facility, helping both parties agree on additional preventive measures, such as scheduled check-ins and installing better bed alarms to prevent further incidents.
