done with every fall. V3 stated that the floor nurse that is taking care of the resident at the time of fall is

time of fall is responsible for implementing an appropriate intervention and writing that on the care plan that
is in the chart. V3 stated the falls are reviewed every morning in the Quality meetings with department
heads. V3 stated they may change an intervention at that time. V3 was asked if the charts go to the
meeting, so they can review the care plan to see what intervention if any was put into place by surveyor. V3
replied no but we should . V3 was asked if the Risk assessment was reviewed during the QA meeting and
she said no, but it should be. V3 stated, the charge nurse also fills out the fall packet when a fall occurs. V3
