The headline reads – “A Resident Dies from Hypothermia After Wandering From a Nursing Home.” Elopement risk presents a serious health and safety risk for residents and a significant professional liability risk for senior communities. A key responsibility for senior care organizations is to develop a comprehensive elopement management program including current policies and procedures, staff, resident, and family education, environmental safety and monitoring controls, and accurate assessment, monitoring, interventions, and care planning based on identified resident risks. This presentation will include causal and contributing factors for elopement risk events and proactive mitigating actions to manage elopement risk.
Objectives:
Define contributing factors for professional liability risk exposure for elopement events
Describe elements of a comprehensive elopement management program
Review important components of resident-centered assessment, interventions, monitoring and care planning
