  • Title: A comprehensive fall prevention program for assessment, interventions, and referral.
    Author: Bucher GM, Szczerba P, Curtin PM.
    Journal: Home Healthc Nurse; 2007 Mar; 25(3):174-83. PubMed ID: 17353710.
    Abstract:
    Christiana Care Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) developed a fall risk assessment using information obtained from the Outcomes and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) assessment. The fall risk assessment tool has been tested using a retrospective record review. A risk-specific intervention guide and postfall algorithm also are parts of the Fall Prevention Program. The Fall Prevention Program has improved patient safety and reduced emergent care related to injury from a fall.
