Post-Fall Huddle
Fifteen minutes, at the bedside, within an hour, with whoever is there. Not blame — what happened, why, what changes now
What it is
A structured fifteen-minute review at the bedside after every fall: circumstances, contributing factors, immediate changes to the care plan, and what the ward learns.
