DETECT Falls: Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety
  • Patient Harm
$0.00
Falls are a serious patient safety issue affecting Iowans everyday. In 2016 in Iowa alone, there were nearly 88,000 falls-related emergency department visits that resulted in 8,300 hospitalizations. Between 2007 and 2016, there was a 56 percent increase in the number of falls-related deaths. We know that most falls are preventable. To protect patient safety and patient lives, we must work together to prevent falls in all care settings. Participating in this pre-recorded webinar course holds many benefits.

As part of the FY2025 final rule, CMS is requiring hospitals participating in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR)program to report on the Patient Safety Structural Measure (PSSM). Structural measures provide a way for hospitals to address a topic for which no outcome measure exists. The PSSM is an attestation-based measure that assesses whether hospitals have a structure and culture that prioritizes safety as demonstrated by five domains. Hospitals will attest to whether they engage in specific evidence-based best practices in each domain.
