Fall Prevention and Injury Reduction - Long Term Care
The Fall Prevention and Injury Reduction Program is a provincial program that will replace all former health region fall prevention and injury reduction programs, documents, policies and procedures. While the new Clinical Standard is for all service streams across the SHA, the Clinical Procedure and program implementation initiated November 22, 2023 will be focused on long term care. the goal is to have full implementation in all homes across the SHA by March 31, 2024.
Teams can begin to take the learning modules at any time. It is important that the majority of staff within the home are trained prior to applying the guiding documents in practice.
Sessions by invitation will be held throughout December to provide an overview of this webpage and use a case study to walk through the application of the guiding documents.
