Fall Prevention Programs Across the Multidisciplinary Team webinar

Wednesday, May 8, 2024
1:00 - 2:00 pm CDT (12-1 pm MDT)

Falls in LTC settings continue to be problematic and costly. Understanding causes of falls (intrinsic and extrinsic) and methods of prevention is important in decreasing the number of falls for senior living professionals. In this session, the participant will be introduced to the background and scope of falls in senior living. Falls generally happen because of various and diverse risk factors and situations, many of which can be corrected. These risk factors are influenced by age, disease, and the presence of hazards in the environment. Several studies have shown that the risk of falling increases dramatically as the number of risk factors increases. The information within the presentation will allow the learners to identify ways for the multidisciplinary team to work together to assess, choose and implement fall prevention programs that are compatible with your community. Principles of effective documentation for nursing to support delivered fall prevention services as well as ways to evaluate the effectiveness of a fall prevention program will be shared.

Care Area Assessment Review (CAA) Webinars

New and veteran nursing home staff have indicated they need more opportunity to examine best practices for improving assessments and developing comprehensive care planning that ensures the health and well-being of their residents. This day-long virtual workshop, designed for the entire interdisciplinary team, will provide a comprehensive review for each of the 20 Care Area Assessments (CAAs), which establish the framework for developing, reviewing and revising residents’ comprehensive plans of care.

Participants will gain a better understanding of:

The necessary components of a comprehensive assessment
What procedures to follow in conducting the assessment
The decision making process for when or when not to proceed to care planning
Specific protocols to follow in documenting the assessment comprehensively
Steps to resident-centered care planning

Examples will be provided for each of the CAAs and attendees will participate in a number of documentation exercises. If you are looking for ways to simplify and individualize the care planning process and develop a functional resident-centered plan that ensures the best possible care for residents in your community, don’t miss this opportunity!
