FALL PREVENTION PROGRAM Your health and safety is our main concern!

All patients are assessed at admission for their risk of falling. Prevention strategies are used to promote patient safety and reduce the risk of injury.

During your stay, expect us to check on you every 2 hours to see if you are comfortable and safe. These visits are called Comfort Rounds. We will ask about your pain level, personal needs and make sure you have your personal items including your call bell within reach.

We’ll also make sure your room is clean and clutter free, and update your bedside whiteboard to let you know when we’ll be back.

How can you help?

▪ Use your call bell when you need help getting out of bed. Call for bathroom assistance when you feel the first need. Don’t wait until it is urgent.

▪ Use your cane, walker, or wheelchair if needed. Notify a nurse if you require any of these items.

▪ Wear your required glasses or hearing aids during your entire stay.

▪ If you can move without help, move slowly and rest often. Sit down immediately if you feel dizzy.

▪ Familiarize yourself with your room and where to find special equipment including the call bell, grab bars, light switches, etc.

▪ Tell a nurse about spills or wet areas on the floor.

▪ Wear flat, well-fitting shoes with rubber soles while walking.

What can family members and visitors do?

▪ Stay with the patient as much as possible especially if they are at a high risk for falling, confused, or wandering.

▪ Reinforce to the patient the importance of asking the nurse for help when getting up.

▪ Make sure the patient can reach the call bell and bed stand.

▪ Notify the nurse before leaving a confused or disoriented patient.

▪ Notify a nurse of any potential medication side effects including weakness or dizziness.

Goals of Care Goals of Care clarifies a patient’s values, wishes, and goals regarding their treatment.

The process aims to clarify a person’s illness understanding and more specifically, their wishes. Goals of Care is about a patient-centric approach that integrates patient’s values, wishes and goals in the context of medically appropriate treatment.

Advance Care Planning Conversations: It provides resources for www.wrh.on.ca

19

patients and their families to engage in advance care planning as early as possible in a patient’s course of care and/or treatment.

Standardizes the Process for Documentation of Advance Care Planning: It provides a standardized set of short-hand instructions where the patient’s general care intentions, specific clinically indicated health interventions, transfer decisions, and locations of care are described.

Goals of Care will follow the patient across the Continuum of Care: Goals of Care Designation Order will form part of the patient’s health record and will follow the patient regardless of where the patient lives or receives medical care.

Goals of Care Designation Tracking Record: Pertinent details of advance care planning and Goals of Care discussions are documented in the patient’s health record and the Goals of Care Tracking Record and will be reviewed on a continuing basis.

Each patient takes an active role in their health care and/or treatment.

The patient’s wishes and goals are incorporated into the way decisions are made at each step of the patient’s clinical treatment.

Goals of Care Designations involve many options and should be discussed and considered carefully. Whether care involves resuscitative care, medical care or comfort care, there are many considerations. Although at times, these decisions may be difficult to think about, it is important that Goals of Care are clear and documented. This most often puts minds at ease and positions the patient and their wishes at their centre of care. It can also reduce stress on family and loved ones when the patient’s wishes are clearly communicated and in place.

Visit www.wrh.on.ca/GoalsofCare for more information.

Medication Safety Tips for safe medication use in hospital: • •

• • •

If the medication you are receiving looks different from the one you take at home, ask the nurse to verify it with the pharmacy.

Only take medications that have been prescribed for you while in hospital. NEVER take medications brought in from home unless authorized by your physician. Taking medications without the knowledge of your physician/nurse could put you at risk of a serious or adverse drug interaction.

Before surgery, ask your physician about medications, especially prescription blood thinners, that you should take or any that you should stop taking before surgery.

Before you leaving the hospital, review a list of your medications with a member of your care team. Make sure you understand why you are taking the drugs and how they should be taken.

If you have any questions regarding your medications, ask to speak to a pharmacist.

Newspapers and Magazines Vending machines in the hospital cafeteria carry most national newspapers. The Windsor Star as well as magazines are available in the Gift Shop.
