The Falls Management
Program (FMP) is an interdisciplinary quality improvement
initiative. It is designed to assist nursing facilities in
providing individualized, person-centered care, and improving their
fall care processes and outcomes through educational and quality
improvement tools. Many nursing facilities have fall programs in
place, but recognize that there is always room for improvement.
While not all falls and injuries can be prevented, it is critical
to have a systematic process of assessment, intervention and
monitoring that results in minimizing fall
risk.
