How Compliance Committees Can Spot Hidden Fall Risks In Nursing Homes

We build on fall prevention and root cause analysis by asking compliance committees to take a deeper look at resident falls through targeted audits. We share two practical tools to guide record reviews, surface contributing factors, and strengthen a culture of safety and readiness across the whole facility.
• Building on prior fall prevention conversation and resident experience
• Using compliance and QAPI as an extra set of eyes
• Auditing records for missed root cause signals
• Focusing reviews on high fall risk residents
• Investigating residents with frequent falls for patterns
• Using the AHRQ On-Time Falls Prevention worksheet
• Checking whether staff training is enough to mitigate falls
• Using the Alliant Health Solutions fall prevention toolkit
• Looking beyond the fall to behavioral health and other changes
• Treating fall prevention as an interdisciplinary team responsibility
• Reinforcing survey readiness through consistent practices and engagement
