Promoting Mobility and Reducing Falls by Individualizing Care and Eliminating Alarms
Webinar Four: February 9, 2012 from 2:00 – 3:00 ET
National Learning Collaborative Webinar Series on Using the MDS 3.0 as an Engine for High Quality Individualized Care
Series Two: Clinical ApplicationsJoanne Rader, who pioneered tie-on restraint elimination, describes the similar detrimental affects of alarms – because they limit mobility and independent function – and provides a primer on alarm elimination. Using the "use it or lose it" rule, she explains that promoting mobility and core strength is the best "safety" plan for reducing falls with serious injury. Highlighting key sections of the MDS, Rader describes how to work with an interdisciplinary team to assess individuals and their environment to assist with independent transfer. She explains how therapy can provide mobility devices and customize seating. Two nursing homes then share their experience of promoting mobility. Sycamore Village in Kokomo, IN graduated from being a Special Focus Facility, by using strong teamwork, consistent assignment, huddles, and just-in-time care planning to individualize care. As they removed alarms, they reduced their falls. Hear about their "out of the box" approach to therapy and willingness to try something different. Sycamore's administrator, Director of Nursing, and Rehabilitation Coordinator describe their experience. Their sister home in Greenfield, IN, learned what they were doing and used the same process to eliminate alarms and reduce falls in their organization. The change, says their administrator, has changed the culture and the environment, from one of rushing in reaction to the noise, to anticipating and calming meeting residents' needs. Her message: it's all about trust.
