In collaboration with the Department of Human Services (DHS), Aging and People with Disabilities, OHCA is pleased partner with presenters from Empira to bring evidence-based quality improvement fall prevention best practices and solutions to the OHCA Quality Summit on January 29. This full day event features dynamic and interactive opportunities to learn practical and real-world strategies for nursing facility, assisted living, residential care, in-home care, and other long term care professionals to apply when trying to reduce risk and injury related to resident falls and develop interventions through the use of thoughtful root cause analysis and problem solving.
The Empira program agenda starts with practice foundations and uses case studies to support learning and practice application. The day will include a panel discussion to address falls from the public policy, adult protective services, emergency services and provider perspectives.
Learning objectives include:
- Understanding the reasons for the fall and what meaningful interventions can be put in place to prevent these types of falls
- Elements of Root Cause Analysis and how every day practices may contribute to falls
- The development of a tangible work plan, individualized to attendees’ communities, to help them prevent or reduce falls
- An overview of the ways in which person-centered care, meaningful engagement, and restorative sleep can decrease falls
- An overview of the regulatory requirements from both agency representatives
- A discussion on how surveyors investigate falls, and how they identify if a fall is classified as an accident or neglect
