National Center for Patient Safety Falls Toolkit 2004.
The National Center for Patient Safety created the Falls Toolkit to assist VA facilities in implementing or improving falls prevention efforts. The toolkit provides information on (1) designing a falls prevention and management program; (2) effective interventions for high-risk fall patients; (3) implementing hip protectors for high-risk fall patients; and (4) educating patients, families, and staff on falls and fall-injury prevention. The web version of the toolkit includes a falls notebook for practitioners implementing a program, media tools, and additional resources.
