4. Multifactoral Interventions
What Are Multifactoral Interventions?
Multifactorial interventions are any combination of interventions that are tailored to an individual’s risk to reduce falls. Such interventions may include:
Assessment of Environmental Hazards
Management of Urinary Incontinence
Educational Interventions Directed to Staff
For all residents, we suggest multifactorial interventions that are individually tailored to reduce the risk of falls and fractures.
