Fall prevention bundle management strategy based on data analysis and its clinical practice among tumour inpatients

Objective To explore the fall prevention bundle management strategy among tumour inpatients and to evaluate its application effects. Methods Data of 139 tumour patients with fall events in Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University between 2014 to 2016 was analyzed based on data analysis. The root cause analysis (RCA) and Plato management tool was used to find the primary cause. We built a fall prevention bundle management team, revised the fall scale, established prevention programs for grading nursing, information setting as well as quality monitoring for implementation process to form bundle management strategy. The fall incidence before and after the implement of the bundle strategy was compared. Results After implementing fall prevention bundle management strategy, the incidence of fall decreased from 0.185‰ (2016) to 0.107‰ (2017) with a significant difference (P=0.004) . Conclusions Fall prevention bundle management strategy based on data analysis can effectively reduce the incidence of fall to guarantee patient safety.
