Fall Management

Fall Management

Fall management among patients and senior residents in acute and long term care healthcare settings requires a multifaceted approach. The recognition, evaluation and management of patient or geriatric resident falls are significant challenges for all who seek to provide a safe environment in any healthcare setting.

Most of the currently available data, research and guidelines on fall management are from seniors in an elderly care service; however, much is applicable for patient falls in all healthcare settings.

Posey technologies are aimed at decreasing the occurrence of patient and senior resident falls, as well as alerting caregivers and helping reduce injuries when patient falls occur. Products include, non slips mats and socks, and different types of bed and wheelchair alarms.
