Falls Management

As populations of frail elderly patients and residents increase, hospitals and care homes are focusing more and more attention on the need to reduce falls and related injuries in healthcare facilities.

Why is Falls Management so important to the community, Hospitals and Care homes?

Falls and fall related injuries are a real danger … falls are the largest cause of emergency hospital admissions for older people. Hip fractures, are the most common serious injury resulting from a fall.

Some statistics…

• 30% of people aged 65 or over living in the community fall each year.
• The incidence of falls in hospitalised patients ranges from 1.4 – 18.2 falls per 1000 days.
• 23%-42% result in the same type of injury.
• 2%-9% result in serious injury including fractures, hematomas or even death.
• Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults.
