Preventing falls in older people: charting practice change by audit
Preventing falls in older people: charting practice change by audit
Before an audit project in one trust there was no formal means of assessing the risk of falling among older patients. By raising staff awareness and consulting on the best evidence available, a specific falls-risk assessment has been developed and is now widely used. Follow-up audits have demonstrated a change in practice which it is hoped will bring about a reduction in falls.

Abstract
Before an audit project in one trust there was no formal means of assessing the risk of falling among older patients. By raising staff awareness and consulting on the best evidence available, a specific falls-risk assessment has been developed and is now widely used. Follow-up audits have demonstrated a change in practice which it is hoped will bring about a reduction in falls.
