CNA HealthPro understands the importance of patient safety and risk management in the evolving world of healthcare. CNA HealthPro researches and analyzes healthcare liability trends to create resources to help its clients manage a variety of healthcare risks.
They have published a new resource to help ambulatory-based facilities learn how to reduce patient falls, which are a common yet, highly preventable, source of injury and litigation.
InBrief(R) entitled, "Patient Falls: Assessing Risk, Reducing Injury," provides general strategies to reduce and document falls within ambulatory care settings. These strategies can be customized to reflect organizational needs and risk exposures. According to CNA HealthPro data, approximately half of the fall-related ambulatory care claims were asserted against home healthcare companies, mostly by clients receiving assistance with daily living activities.
