Session Objectives

First, how do we define a fall?Is this a fall?

• Understand why interdepartmental cooperation is important in the implementation of the research findings.

• Understand how are falls defined and counted on Oaklawn Hospital’s Inpatient Psychiatric unit?

The Burning Question:  How do we know which of our patients is most at risk for falls?

As a member of the fall risk committee, I was tasked with finding an assessment tool for use on my unit.  I researched the currently available fall risk 

assessments and found none that fit our adult inpatient psychiatric  population.  

Enter the Quality Work Group

Maybe we should make our own  tool?

What would we need to do that?

I can not do this on my own.  But WE 

can!

Nursing Staff and Administration come together, each bringing their own unique experience and resources.

Key Points•This tool was developed by Staff level RNs and Advanced Practice RNs joining 

nursing practice and theory.  

•International, National and Local data were used to identify risk factors that are 

unique to an inpatient psychiatric unit.

•This project was a collaboration of efforts.  We included many departments and 

disciplines working together to produce a product.  

•This unique assessment tool is an example of how nurses of different education, 

background and areas of practice can have a rapid, effective and lasting impact on 

patient care and safety.
