Adapting a successful program targeting falls reduction in the rehabilitation setting to the acute hospital environment

The aim of the project is to explore key suggested acute care-specific modifications to the Safe Recovery program from both clinical and patient perspectives and to explore perceived barriers and enablers to successful implementation of the Safe Recovery program in the acute setting. This will be explored through focus groups and interviews among acute care patients and family members, nurses, allied health professionals and medical officers.  
 
We hope the findings of this project lead to understanding of how to adapt the successful Safe Recovery falls reduction program to the acute hospital environment. 
 

This project is currently recruiting.
