We dive into the persistent challenge of fall prevention in hospitals with our guest, Christine Gall, a nurse executive. Despite advancements in patient safety, falls remain a significant issue, resulting in severe injuries and even death. We explore why traditional prevention strategies often fail, the staggering human and financial costs of falls, and how innovative solutions like virtual monitoring can make a difference. Christine shares her insights on data-driven approaches, the role of technology, and what health care leaders can do to create safer environments for patients, especially as the aging population grows.
Christine Gall is a nurse executive.
She discusses the KevinMD article, "Embracing data-driven solutions to prevent falls."
