Episode Synopsis

In today's episode, Ryan reviews QRM's Fall Reduction Program specifically targeting a long-term care nursing home population where 50% of residents experience a fall each year. He discusses some of the challenges nursing home providers face when designing fall reduction programs like: how to address the frequent faller, what to do for the high level resident who hasn't not yet fallen, and how to transition fall programs effectively.
