IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: MANAGING ACUTE PAIN IN AN ELDERLY CARE WITH
THE AIM TO REDUCE FALLS
Introduction: Background
In acute care hospitals, with or without injury, cases are quite prevalent but can be stopped
if intervention programs to address this problem are in place. Research has shown that falling
factors are complex, interconnected, and multifactorial. Falls are primarily an issue for the elderly,
and 70% of bedding days are spent in hospitals in the U.S. over 65 (LeLaurin, & Shorr, 2019).
Personality traits have a higher risk of decreasing during hospitalization. In many hospitalized
patients, transient factors that change over time are typical and associated with an increased risk
of falling. Furthermore, there are increasing differences in the physical environment. Even though
80%–90% of cases in hospitals are not seen, we know that 50–70% occur in bedrooms, bedside
chairs, or during the transmission, with 10–20% occurring in the bathroom (Falcão et al. 2019).
We know, in particular, which variables could lead to a fall, yet how we could not resolve this
information is translated into programs, which prevent hospital fall injuries.
The primary emphasis of investigation is on the literature on the prevention and treatment
of acute pain in fall patients in nursing homes. The findings from the literature review show that
older patients are more likely to fall than other populations. Thus, by investigating the best-suited
intervention which would be beneficial in the long run and reducing the impact of the disease and
lowered costs, we need to address these problems. The research was developed through qualitative
and quantitative analyses. The PICO is used to select the best items for the prevention and
treatment of pain management acute falls. This ensures the maximum use of available information
on the online library and database. This is followed by a systematic review of the literature. Based
on the research appraisal, the themes that come out of the topic are those of hydrotherapy, use of
technology, nurses training, and use of safety companions for patient monitoring.
Implementation Plan
Implementing a revised autumn protocol in the acute care hospital for medical-surgical
units can reduce the rate of decreases resulting in better social, financial, and physical results. As
noted, this project is designed to address weaknesses in the implementation protocol on fall
prevention at the hospital and suggest procedure adjustments to the organization's medical-surgical
units. A systematic examination of the literature presented proof-based fall preventive strategies,
resulting in a decrease in medical-surgical units in hospitals for acute treatment, giving answers to
questions in the exercise. The implementation plan can be implemented in two forms comprising
hydrotherapy, use of safety companions, nurses training, and use of technology for patient
monitoring for acute pain management, which results in falls (Khalifa, 2019).
Hydrotherapy means the active or passive scientific use of water for treating different
diseases (Mirmoezzi et al., 2021). Various studies have shown that hydrotherapies' effects in
substantial parts of the body system are combined with the therapeutic and physiologic exhibits.
When it is implemented in pain management, hydrotherapy can have certain short-term benefits.
Scientist studies have shown that several patients with acute anal or knee pain have a greater
chance to reduce pain if applied to cold water temperatures below 15°C (Khalaji et al., 2017).
There are shortcomings in current interventions based on further research because specific
intervention based on evidence demonstrates their effectiveness in improving the lives of patients
in critical conditions in ICUs. However, there are many deficiencies in this procedure, as much as
there are complications for the approaches. Their evaluation demonstrates that the majority of
medical, psychological, and emotional interference will be far more critical in the reduction,
treatment, and control of chronic pain in patients. Technology cannot be exempted, nevertheless,
and staff formation is also crucial to the effectiveness of attention through the skills required for
employees (Morris, & O'Riordan, 2017)). The integration of all the topics within a single model
gives researchers the ability to evaluate the technological role of severe pain diagnosis and
intervention. In a number of situations, the research shows that old patients are more susceptible
than other patients and that, due to insufficient know-how to mitigate or handle them, they are
categorized as highly probable to prevent (Resnick & Boltz, 2019). Many patients can also be
monitored remotely and consulted in real-time worldwide by the nurse. Thus, it develops at the
regional and international level as a centralized involvement with the authorization of various acute
pain management panels.
Mission and Objective
The goal is to build an appropriate intervention for the management of acute pain relating
to falls and especially those in intensive care units, given that existing healthcare initiatives are
efficient and reducing to the elderly. This report is intended to continue providing insight and
information on the effectiveness of treating older patients using innovation, given the available
literature. Influencing training models, clinical, psychological, and technological combinations.
This proposal will involve researchers, clinical psychologists, local and community
policymakers, medical institutions, global health panels, interested parties, patients, and anyone
willing to help combat falls in the form of acute pain, thus improving quality of life.
Method: A structural analysis of the current initiatives, medical conditions, policy evaluations,
and interpretation of the efficiency of the already existing evidence-based treatments on
highlighting clinical preferences will be conducted as a first step, through much of that various
training programs joint effort between research groups and society and academic institutions as it
is the performance requirements and sharing phase. The second stage is the completion of
documentation and demonstration, educational lectures, discussions, and exhibitions in the
community. The third stage concerns the formation of the procedure and its final design and
performance assessment.
Changes Management Plan
The main research focus is a study that focuses on appropriate treatments for prevention
and treatment in preventative care for patients with acute pain and falls. Reduced research to a
single intervention model in technological, training, psychological, and supporting colleagues’
interventions. The report makes use of the SWOT analysis to support its theory and
implementation plan. The introduction of the proposed models includes an evaluation that shows
all their strength when managing the functionality that has been specified in the long term as
changes in developmental programs are anticipated. The report also shows the weakness of its
application and then how to minimize it, the opportunities it provides, and the risk of long-term
and short-term threats that could be inclined to present in the proposed system.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
According to Fridman (2019), technology plays a significant role in defining health
problems of critical care pain assessment. One of the abilities that the evaluation in comparison
with manual estimates is timely and accurate. Analyzes that pre-set the monitoring alert for patients
in the ICU also allow for automation and detection of any patient falls. The ongoing research and
evidence of evaluations integrating technology on the model would also enhance user data access
through the need for a digital patient database.
The patient procedure information presented in the study indicates efficient governance of
acute pain development, patient nursing, and fall prevention. With the set guidance on pain
management using a therapeutic diagnosis, it is possible to sufficiently decrease the rate of acute
pain and prevent it from being continued and preventively used. At the same time, psychological
and other initiatives, like patient positioning...
