Before an audit project in one trust there was no formal means of assessing the risk of falling among older patients. By raising staff awareness and consulting on the best evidence available, a specific falls-risk assessment has been developed and is now widely used. Follow-up audits have demonstrated a change in practice which it is hoped will bring about a reduction in falls.
在对一家信托机构进行审计项目之前，没有正式的方法来评估老年患者跌倒的风险。通过提高工作人员的意识并参考现有最佳证据，现已制定了一项具体的跌倒风险评估方法，并且目前正在广泛使用。后续审计显示了实践中的变化，希望这将减少跌倒事件的发生。
