Why Focus on Falls Prevention?
• 40-60% of residents in long-term care facilities fall at least once a year
• Approximately 10-25% of these falls result in serious injury, including up to 5% resulting in bone fractures
• The risk of sustaining a hip fracture is 10.5 times higher for women who are in facilities than if they were living in the community
• Less than 15% of residents hospitalized for hip fractures regain pre-injury ambulation status
Long-Term Care
![Page 6: Call to Action: Canadian Falls Prevention Audit Month April 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020101/55a61f131a28ab0c658b4684/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Falls account for up to 40% of inpatient incidents
• 30% of falls result in physical injury, with 2-5% resulting in moderate to serious injury including hip fractures or even death
• Falls can result in longer lengths of stay, increased health care cost and staff workload, and staff and family distress
• Approximately 50% of patients sustaining a in-hospital hip fracture die within one year of the fracture.
Acute Care
Why Focus on Falls Prevention?
![Page 7: Call to Action: Canadian Falls Prevention Audit Month April 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020101/55a61f131a28ab0c658b4684/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Focus on Falls Prevention?
Results: Using data collected on 102 falls, they found the
average cost per fall causing an ED presentation of $11,408.
When hospitalization was required, the average cost per fall
was $29,363.
![Page 8: Call to Action: Canadian Falls Prevention Audit Month April 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020101/55a61f131a28ab0c658b4684/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why focus on Falls Prevention?
The average LOS for In-Hospital fall cases was 37.2 days [median 26.5
days] and 25.7 days [median 13 days] for matched control patients.
Survival analysis results indicated that patients who did not have an
In-Hospital fall were 2.4 times more likely to be discharged earlier from
acute care than patients who had a fall.
