Leveraging Event Reporting Through Knowledge Support:A Knowledge-Based Approach to Promoting Patient Fall Prevention

摘要：

　　Patient falls are a common safety event type that impairs the healthcare quality.Strategies including solution tools and reporting systems for preventing patient falls have been developed and implemented in the U.S.However,the current strategies do not include timely knowledge support,which is in great need in bridging the gap between reporting and learning.In this study,we constructed a knowledge base of fall events by combining expert-reviewed fall prevention solutions and then integrating them into a reporting system.The knowledge base enables timely and tailored knowledge support and thus will serve as a prevailing fall prevention tool.This effort holds promise in making knowledge acquisition and management a routine process for enhancing the reporting and understanding of patient safety events.
