LPSA Target 2: Falls

Confidence in achieving at least 60% stretch:
Unknown
Targets
Reduce the numbers of people aged over 75 years and over who are admitted to hospital as a result of a fall by 150 (839).
How and when targets are measured
The figure is calculated using cds inpatient data, as submitted to HES. This data must be validated by HES before being used. Interim data can be used and calculations confirmed approx 4 months after years end.
Progress planned at this stage
Currently we are analysing data for year ending 31st March 2007.
Progress achieved at this stage
2005/06 figure - 1164. Progress against the target is very limited.
Significant problems encountered/predicted
The Pathways for Change process which plans total change in models of care mean that original structure for meeting targets needs review, however the target achievement is one that meets the vision of the PCT generally so remains a priority area for the PCT.
Recovery actions in hand (where applicable)
Further changes to the management structure and financial recovery measures have delayed progress, and although this area of work remains one of the organisational priorities, other priorities have superseded it. The intention was to focus action on this in the New Year (Jan 2007) with a new management and professional structure, although this action still remains to be undertaken. Figures are now available for 05/06 (1164) and by mid-May will be available for 2006/07.
