Prévention des chutes en réadaptation

Falls prevention is a major concern for rehabilitation institutions. The first action is the preliminary assessment of the risk of each patient and the setting up of individual preventive measures. A comprehensive analysis of the falls at the establishment level must also be conducted through a register compiling all of the falls and their circumstances. Analyzed data set allows to highlight the possibility of poorly managed or specific risks and thus to guide more comprehensive preventive actions. The effectiveness of these actions should be evaluated.
