Description
Hwee Min Tan and co-authors audit, in a 2026 paper, a fall care plan for old folk in a Singapore rush-care unit. The plan, the Geriatric Faller Protocol, fronts a full-team check at the door. Files of 115 stays from July to December 2024 were read back; 101 fit the read. Mean age sat at 81, and 70.3 percent were women. Most sat mid on the frailty scale, grades 4 to 7. In 67.3 percent of cases, a full ward stay was dodged. Five came back in 30 days; just two for falls.
Falls brought 94.1 percent of the set; half plus bore head or face harm. Drug loads ran high: 75 percent on many drugs, a median of nine.
