IMPLEMENTATION AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
(Cumbler et al,2013).
Evidenced based practice will be implemented as a resource.
The Fishbone diagram will be introduced as a source of analyzing the cause and effect for falls in the rehab center.
(Cumbler et al,2013).
EVALUATED GOALS:
MINIMIZED FALL RISK BY 65% AND REDUCED HOSPITAL EXPENSES CAUSED FROM FALL RISKS
IMPROVED WORK ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS DECREASED # OF FALLS WITHIN THE YEAR.
HOW WILL WE MEASURE THIS OUTCOME? FALL RATE EQUATION (ABOVE) WILL BE USED TO EVALUATE FALLS PER MONTH.
