What is pharmacy's involvement in falls evaluations in current state (whether PTA or inpatient) at your facility?
1. Criteria for who is evaluated (those admitted with a fragility fracture? those who fall inpatient?)
2. What action is taken by pharmacy (home med list or MAR evaluation? Who gets that information?)
3. Any programs looking at this for quality metrics? How do they measure? In current state our hip fracture program is looking at this quality metric.
Thank you!
