WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement

Featuring:
Preventing injuries from falls, especially among the elderly, has been a flagship issue for health care quality improvement and patient safety for nearly two decades. The complications that can follow broken bones at an advanced age, most notably a broken hip, can literally be deadly. This reality, numerous programs, and reporting requirements have kept falls prevention front and center across the health care continuum.
Now a new initiative wants to emphasize the physical and mental health benefits of mobility, and encourage greater mobility for older patients in conjunction with falls prevention, as part of a broadening vision of "age-friendly" care. We explored what this looks like in practice, starting with the hospital setting, on the March 22 episode of WIHI: Mobility Matters for Age-Friendly Care.
