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.
