Hannah meets with the team after the fall to debrief about the incident. This can help to reflect on team strengths, areas for growth and next steps to support resident safety and reduce the risk of future falls.

Resources and tools such as the “Falls Debriefing and Action Plan” [New tab PDF] (Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario [RNAO], 2017, p. 111) can be helpful to develop an action plan to reduce the risk of future falls.
