Clinical safety and quality indicators
At Calvary St Luke’s Hospital, we take quality and safety seriously. We also support a culture of openness and transparency to foster positive partnerships with our consumers.
To provide transparency, we are pleased to publish hospital quality and safety data alongside the Australian Commission in Safety and Quality in Healthcare benchmarks.
What is a fall with serious injury?
A fall with serious injury involves a fracture or a head injury.
At Calvary, we take falls prevention seriously. When a patient arrives at the hospital, we will conduct a risk screen and will develop a personalised fall prevention plan to reduce the chances of any falls.
Please make sure you come to our facility with properly fitted shoes with a non-slip sole.
How is this indicator calculated?
The number of falls is divided by the number of people who have been sent home from our facility.
A lower number means fewer falls.
We aim to have the lowest number and be better than the industry benchmark.
