> How do you measure that goal?
You could just put a lower number of falls than the resident is currently having.
Example: Mr. Jones had 5 falls in the last quarter. Your goal would be that Mr.
Jones have less than 4 falls over the next 90 days. The goal would be met if he had
only 1-3 falls. As the number of falls lessens you reduce the number in the goal.
Make sense??
