*** SAFETY RISK *** 1. History of Falling: 2. Secondary diagnosis or more than 1 medical diagnosis: 3. Ambulatory Aid: 4. IV Therapy / Saline Lock: 5. Gait: 6. Mental Status: * Assessment Score: * Fall Risk Factor: Initiate Safety Risk Protocol Care Plan Y Beth Lagimoniere, LVN IT Decision Support - Arroyo Grande Community Hospital French Hospital Medical Center Marian Medical Center Tel: 805-739-3571 Fax: 805-614-5908 On 7/18/07, Marie Merten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
We are looking to see what other facilities are using for gathering fall risk information on your patients. Are you just using one intervention and documenting on that, what type of information are you asking, etc.? Thanks in advance for any and all help that is provided! Have a great day!
