Navigating
the Slippery Legal Slope of Falls. Falls result
in both minor and serious injury types including fatalities.
In the healthcare setting, falls occur for multiple reasons.
When does a fall constitute malpractice and when is it simply
a bad outcome? An expert clinician in falls, Dr. Deanna
Gray-Miceli sorts out these issues in a teleseminar for
attorneys and legal nurse consultants.
After
the Fall. Older adults are at higher risk of
falls and also have a higher rate of poor outcomes. Fractures
are a serious consequence of falls in the older population
and have significant morbidity/mortality, legal and financial
implications. Falls are now classified by Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid as “never events”, for which reimbursement
will be denied. There are a variety of injuries a person
can incur as the result of a fall. An expert orthopaedic
nurse will help you bone up on fractures. You’ll understand
the complexities of these injuries - how they heal and the
types of surgeries commonly used to treat them. You’ll
understand the damages- the postoperative complications
that can occur, including delirium, surgical site infections,
pneumonia, DVT, decubitus ulcers, as well as urinary tract
infections. Clinical and legal implications are described.
Falls
Handbook: Clinical and Medical-Legal Perspectives of Falls
Across the Lifespan. Written by experts in
the clinical and liability issues associated with falls,
Falls Handbook is a current and comprehensive text on one
of the most difficult aspects of medical care: fall prevention.
The authors define falls, identify those at risk, and explain
the consequences of falls. The text defines the hazards
of falls in public places, homes and healthcare facilities.
Medical, age-related, and medication-related causes of falls
are clearly defined. You will learn what the caregiver should
assess after a fall, and how the plan of care should be
changed. You will learn what can and should be done to prevent
falls. The rationale for moving away from the use of restraints
and side rails is explained. The text concludes with a description
of the analysis of the liability and damages associated
with a fall. You will learn how meritorious cases are identified.
Common allegations by plaintiff’s experts are listed,
along with 9 defense strategies. The use of punitive damages
in falls cases is defined.
Paralysis
from a Medical Error: A Case Study. Written
by an experienced legal nurse consultant and expert witness,
this case study tells the story of a patient who entered
the hospital for neck surgery and left as a paraplegic.
The events of the case are true. The case study is designed
to increase the reader’s awareness of the importance
of appropriate delegation, notification of the physician
of an incident, and the recognition of changes in a patient’s
condition. You will learn through this case study to identify
risk factors for falls and the appropriate action after
a fall. The use of SBAR communication, a state of the art
communication technique, is explained in a step by step
process and applied to the case. You will view portions
of the patient’s actual medical records (names have
been changed) as well as his description of what really
occurred. Time line development is explained as a tool to
understand the progression of events. The case study includes
diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord compression, analysis
of liability, and a portion of one of the nurse’s
depositions. The case study concludes with lessons learned.
