Brief Summary

The research surrounding best practice guidelines of geriatric trauma patients in the inpatient setting is broad. Furthermore, the comprehensiveness of research programs varies based on individual hospital resource capacity. American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS TQIP) Geriatric Trauma Management Guidelines1 details a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to inpatient management; however, guideline effectiveness is diminished as many hospitals may implement a version of the guidelines limited by staffing, ancillary services, and resource capacity, among other variables.

Conditions

Fall Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Number of patients with repeat Emergency Department(ED) visits with a chief complaint associated with a fall.

  2019-2022

• • Number of return visits related to a fall treated at a Methodist Health System(MHS)trauma center before and after implementation of G60 targeted education.

  • Observational study comparing recidivism rates of MDMC-qualified G60 patients that attended fall prevention discharge class per hospital protocols versus G60 patients that did not attend the class
