Don’t stop moving: Optimising safety while staying active in hospital

The National Audit of Inpatient Falls 2024 annual report

To address the potential for harm caused by hospital-acquired deconditioning, this report presents a new approach that focuses on promoting activity using assessments to ensure each patient is fit to move as safely as possible.

The latest report collates data around 4 KPIs:

  • KPI 1: High-quality multifactorial assessment to optimise safe activity (MASA)  
  • KPI 2: Check for injury before moving  
  • KPI 3: Safe lifting equipment used to move the patient from the floor
  • KPI 4: Medical assessment within 30 minutes of the fall that caused the inpatient femoral fractures
