Abstract

A Multidisciplinary Falls Consultation Service made possible a novel interdisciplinary approach to the patient as a faller. A team consisting of members from the medical, nursing, rehabilitation, administration, and activities departments reviewed epidemiological data on 323 falls and evaluated 24 patient referrals. Interventions at all clinical levels of staffing are being developed to reduce the risk of falling.
