This webinar features Ray Miller, MSOSH – Director of Risk Management and Safety, Direct Supply.

Fall Management:
As one responsible for purchasing decisions, you must first decide what problems you need to solve. In this session, we will examine best practices for product evaluation, RFPs and supplier selection. Using Long Term Care examples, we will discuss the importance of total cost of ownership, logistics, and benefits of aggregation of spend and using a balanced scorecard to evaluate suppliers. Given the complexity of diagnoses, clearly it is more than just price that must be considered. We will discuss how using these best practices will improve the quality of care and quality of life for residents and employees.

Improving Quality:
The intent of this session is to provide resources and tools to Senior Living providers that support their staff’s and communities’ efforts in delivering safer care and services for residents at risk of falling.

The presentation will be divided into three sections:

  1. Assessment tools and intervention ideas to individualize care
  2. Technological, environmental and design strategies to reduce fall risk
  3. Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement (QAPI) applications
