It can be displayed in a prominent position within the facility to act as a reminder to staff as to what they can do to help prevent falls. In 2009 the Department of Health funded Northern Health, in conjunction with National Ageing Research Institute, to review falls prevention resources for the Department of Health’s website. The materials used as the basis of this generic resource were developed by Peninsula Health under a Service Agreement with the Department of Human Services, now the Department of Health. Other resources to maintain health and wellbeing of older people are available from www.health.vic.gov.au/agedcare Department of Health Best Practice Promoting a Falls Prevention Culture Strong evidence exists that falls prevention strategy can be effective if a hospital culture exists that ‘falls can be prevented’ Encouraging Safe Activity Prevents Falls Managing Falls Risk Managing care needs to prevent patient falls requires teamwork, communication and regular review of falls risk.
