- Safe Transfers and Mobility Webinar: The webinar Best Practices in Safe Transfers and Mobility to Decrease Fall Risk created by the UNMC CAPTURE Falls team describes principles of balance, strategies to reduce patient fall risk during transfers and ambulation, and strategies to improve a patient’s balance in sitting. It could be used as an educational tool for staff training on this topic.

- Tension Between Promoting Mobility and Preventing Falls: An editorial published in JAMA Internal Medicine discusses how too strong of a focus on reducing all falls may lead to unintended consequences of reduced patient mobility. The article promotes the concept that assisted falls are a “good” thing because it means that staff were assisting the patient with mobility at the time and were able to control the fall.
- Gait Belt FAQs: The Gait Belt FAQs segment on page 60 of the How-to-Guide: Reducing Patient Injuries from Falls Toolkit from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement explains the rationale for gait belt use and how to use one to assist patients. The creation of a free Institute of Healthcare Improvement account is required to access this document.
