The health care industry no longer uses restraints to prevent falls. Fall prevention became a JCAHO mandate in 2005. Flyers marketing live workshops on fall prevention are distributed to providers multiple times per year.
Fall prevention for the frail elderly has been big business for the purveyors of technology and equipment tools. Yet, the CDC has reported the death rate from falls among older men and woman has risen sharply over the (August 2013 WISQARS) last decade.
This would seem to indicate the mass distribution of equipment and delivery of instruction has not stabilized or reduced the death rate from falls among older men and woman. We may need a measure of effectiveness?
