This document summarizes the implementation of a falls prevention program in older adult residential care facilities in Donegal, Ireland. It notes that Donegal has a higher proportion of older residents compared to national averages. A falls prevention program called "Forever Autumn" was adopted from a hospital in Dublin and implemented across Donegal's 11 community hospitals. Key aspects of the program include staff training, color-coded safety symbols and grips, and standardized documentation. Early results show a 27.5% reduction in falls across the 11 hospitals since the program began in 2015. Ongoing efforts include continued education, standardizing equipment, and gathering more outcome data.

FA Presentation 6 Laura Binions
This document summarizes the results of a falls prevention and bone health initiative pilot project in Dublin North City primary care teams. It found that 40-58% of older patients screened required further assessment, and 40-60% of those screened were at risk of falls, with over half requiring intervention. Referral rates to specialists were low. The screening documentation was found to be clear but time-consuming. The next steps outlined continuing the initiative, further streamlining processes, and providing more education.

This document summarizes a presentation given by John Kenny, Operations Manager of the Quality Improvement Division, at the Forever Autumn Community of Practice Falls Conference on September 30th, 2015. The presentation provides context on quality improvement initiatives within the healthcare system and outlines the role and priorities of the Quality Improvement Division. It introduces a draft Framework for Quality Improvement that identifies six drivers to support a culture of continual quality improvement: leading for improvement, engaging patients and staff, a systematic approach to improvement, measuring and sharing learning, and governing for quality. Feedback is sought from the Community of Practice on how well the framework helps to frame their quality improvement work.
FA Falls 2 Teresa O'Callaghan
This document outlines the implementation of a collaborative approach to reduce falls in older person services using the MMEDS bundle. A steering group was formed across two counties with six participating services. The aim was to reduce falls by 30% by February 2015 through standardized risk assessments, prevention tools, education, and data analysis. Tests of change using the MMEDS bundle and PDSA cycles showed a 58% reduction in falls. Sustainability data shows continued improvement. The approach provides good value through prevention of fractures and hospitalizations.

Data shows lengths of stay have decreased from 21 to 19 days from 2008-2014. The IHFD reports on patient demographics, care processes, outcomes, and allows comparison to international databases to improve hip fracture management and meet a goal of 95% of surgeries within 48 hours.
AFFINITY - Bone Health in the Park - 29th April 2014
The Bone Health in the Park (BHIP) program was developed as a collaborative falls prevention and bone health education program. It was created in response to an audit that found two-thirds of attendees at a healthy aging clinic had reduced bone density and little awareness of bone health. The program included two phases - "I am not falling for you!" and "Forever Autumn 2" - that provided education resources for both healthcare professionals and the public. An evaluation found a 15-33% reduction in falls at participating facilities after implementing the Forever Autumn program. BHIP aims to continue providing bone health and falls prevention education through an online community of practice.

Falls management in acute care settings requires a multidisciplinary approach. A successful falls prevention program has leadership support, frontline staff engagement, a multidisciplinary committee, pilot testing of interventions, use of data to monitor falls, staff education and training, and convincing staff that falls can be prevented. When a fall occurs, the policy should include risk identification, care planning, preventative strategies, procedures to follow, and action plans. Risk assessment tools, policies, education, signage, and patient information can help reduce falls and their costs on the healthcare system and patients.

Use of FRAX without BMD to Assess Risk of Fracture in Out-Patient Population
This study aimed to identify fracture risk in an outpatient population using FRAX without BMD measurements. Researchers assessed 50 patients over 50 for clinical risk factors and calculated 10-year fracture risk. Nearly 60% of patients were found to be at intermediate or high risk of fracture warranting further investigation or treatment. The population was predominantly male, of median age 64, and in the overweight BMI category. The study highlights the opportunity for outpatient clinics to help reduce fracture risk, morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs by systematically identifying at-risk patients.
Knowledge & Attitudes and Practices of Interns in the Post Fall Management of...
The study explored the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of intern doctors in managing patients in the immediate post-fall period. Interns appear confident in identifying injuries but report variable practices in preventing further falls and improving bone health. While interns believe their role in injury identification is important, some believe their role in preventing further falls is less so. Interns routinely assess history and examination but report rarely reviewing medication records or considering bone health options post-fall. The study concludes an education program for interns is needed on preventing falls and improving bone health in the post-fall period.
FA Presentation 12 Mimi Fan
Osteoporosis is common in nursing home residents, affecting around 86% of residents. It is associated with higher rates of fractures. Treatment focuses on calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, denosumab, and teriparatide depending on mobility and swallowing ability. Treatment aims to increase bone mineral density and reduce fractures, but medications also need to be considered based on renal function and goals of care including end of life care.

This document discusses falls and fear of falling in older adults with intellectual disabilities. It provides an overview of early findings from the Intellectual Disability Supplement to the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (IDS-TILDA), which surveyed 753 people over age 40 with intellectual disabilities. The study found that 27% reported falling in the previous 12 months, with 14.5% falling once and 16% falling multiple times. Risk factors for falls and fear of falling included physical health issues like incontinence, fractures, pain, and unsteadiness. Effective prevention strategies include exercise, medical reviews, education, and addressing modifiable risk factors.

The Nutrition Impact & Positive Practice (NIPP) Project aims to treat and prevent malnutrition in non-emergency settings through behavior change rather than food handouts. It uses community-based "macro-circles" of female, male, and community groups to conduct participatory nutrition education sessions on topics like cooking demonstrations, micro-gardening, and food processing. Formative research is used to design context-specific activities addressing the key behavioral causes of malnutrition. Monitoring uses nutrition surveys and outcome data to assess the project's impact on reducing acute and chronic malnutrition. Preliminary results from Sudan and South Sudan show 79.7% of children/pregnant and lactating women admitted to the circles graduated the program.

This document summarizes the integration of family planning services into maternal and child health programming in Liberia. Key points:
- Family planning services were introduced in 2011 and integrated into the existing community health program after external funding ended in 2012. Services were integrated into immunization outreach activities.
- Integration trained community health workers to provide family planning counseling and some methods. It increased modern contraceptive use from 2% to 61% and decreased unmet need from 68% to 22%.
- While challenges included increased workload, integration had benefits like utilizing existing resources and a network of community health volunteers to scale up comprehensive services. Lessons included applying family planning messaging to all users and clarifying return dates for integrated services.

VERA - Dementia Communication Skills Prof Corina Naughton
The document describes a feasibility study that evaluated a dementia communication training intervention for pre-registration nurses based on the VERA framework. The 2.5 hour training included education on dementia, communication principles, and role-playing using the VERA approach. A controlled pre-post study across 7 hospitals found students who received the training showed improved person-centered responses, dementia competence, communication confidence, and knowledge compared to controls. Qualitative interviews found students applied VERA flexibly, used specific techniques like mirroring, and saw it as a useful toolkit. The study demonstrated the training was feasible but more evidence is needed on its impact on behavior.
The Absent Voice - the Reality - Dr E Beck
The document discusses advance care planning (ACP) for people with dementia living in long-term care settings. It summarizes a study that examined the understanding and experiences of family caregivers, general practitioners, and nursing home staff regarding ACP for dementia patients. The study found poor knowledge of ACP across all groups, especially around legal aspects. Challenges to implementing ACP included concerns about dementia patients' ability to engage and lack of disease-specific guidance. The roles of families, doctors, and nurses in ACP were unclear. The document calls for more research engaging with dementia patients early on to establish their priorities and examine barriers to ACP.

Pressure Ulceration In Older Adults: Lessons From A Four Year Service Review
This document evaluates pressure ulceration in St. Mary's Hospital over a four year period. It finds that 51.4% of pressure ulcers were acquired in the hospital, compared to 48.5% present on admission. Ulcers acquired in the hospital tended to be lower severity and affect non-traditional sites like the feet and heels. The total person time spent with pressure ulcers and associated costs decreased from 2014-2016, suggesting staff education on prevention was effective. Ongoing education is still needed for all staff and carers to address ulcers on admission and prevent ulcers acquired in the hospital.

This presentation summarizes a systematic review on nurse-led medication reconciliation (MedRec) for older adults during care transitions. The review found that MedRec performed by nurses improved detection of medication discrepancies in all 8 included studies. Nurse-led interventions involved structured interviews, home visits, and telephone follow-ups. The review concluded that nurses can substantially reduce medication errors but more high-quality research is still needed to better understand nurses' role in MedRec.
Falls Prevention & Management In Residential Care Setting
This document outlines a proposed research study to evaluate the effectiveness of a falls prevention program called "Forever Autumn" implemented in residential care settings. The program was associated with a 35-31% reduction in falls over 4 years in one setting. The study will use a mixed-methods case study design, collecting both qualitative data through staff focus groups and quantitative data from existing intervention records, to better understand how the program reduces falls and inform future falls prevention strategies. Ethics approval has been obtained and data collection is planned to begin in early 2018 at an urban and rural research site after presenting the study.

Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:

Before embarking on a research project, especially one aimed at scoping and defining parameters like the one described for health tech IT, several crucial considerations should be addressed. Here’s a comprehensive guide covering key aspects to ensure a well-structured and successful research initiative:
1. Define Research Objectives and Scope
Clear Objectives: Define specific goals such as understanding market needs, identifying new opportunities, assessing risks, or refining pricing strategies.
Scope Definition: Clearly outline the boundaries of the research in terms of geographical focus, target demographics (e.g., age, socio-economic status), and industry sectors (e.g., healthcare IT).
3. Review Existing Literature and Resources

Gap Analysis: Identify gaps in existing knowledge or areas where further exploration is needed.
4. Select Research Methodology and Tools
Methodological Approach: Choose appropriate research methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, or data analytics.
Tools and Resources: Select tools like Google Forms for surveys, analytics platforms (e.g., SimilarWeb, Statista), and expert consultations.
5. Ethical Considerations and Compliance
Ethical Approval: Ensure compliance with ethical guidelines for research involving human subjects.
Data Privacy: Implement measures to protect participant confidentiality and adhere to data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
6. Budget and Resource Allocation
Resource Planning: Allocate resources including time, budget, and personnel required for each phase of the research.
Contingency Planning: Anticipate and plan for unforeseen challenges or adjustments to the research plan.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

- 10. Permission given by ANP Daragh Rodgers to use Forever Autumn programme. Approval granted by SMOPS Donegal to proceed and purchase alert symbols, colour coded grips etc.
- 11. Why Forever Autumn? Evidence from St Mary’s that it works! Simple concept - alert symbols, dignified and non labelling, colour coded leaves, grips Documentation user friendly and effective, comfort checks, post fall review. Permission to use educational video Cost effective!
- 12. Progress to date in Donegal Falls link/champion training took place in Nov 2014, 2 staff from each unit were trained. Forever Autumn symbols, grips etc sourced. Education sessions commenced in January 2015 in each unit aimed at all grades of staff using the St Mary’s video.
