Description
One-third of inpatient falls are preventable, but preventing them is hindered by the inability to accurately estimate their risk. A well-designed clinical decision support (CDS) service can help nurses decide how to allocate their services and resources. Here we report preliminary prospective observations obtained from the implementation of a CDS service designed to predict the risk of falling for individual patients based on electronic medical records data captured during nursing care.
Learning Objective: 1. Using a CDS approach informing falling risks individual-level at an inpatient setting, we can explore if such intervention for nurses could influence any changes of nurses’ related activities.
2. If then, we can look at what kind of activities would be changed or not.
3. If any changes happen, we can get information about when it is and how the trend looks like.
