The Falls Review Tool is available for health services to use, accompanied by a user guide, which contains instructions on how to use the tool for a sentinel event. 

The Falls Review Tool has been designed to assist health services to:

  • understand their current risk in relation to falls prevention 
  • streamline the review process 
  • use a human factors (systems thinking) approach to reviewing falls.
  • strengthen recommendations resulting from the review of falls-related adverse events.

Health services are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the updated sentinel event guidance relating to falls.
