Attention Providers: New Order/Update to the Fall Policy

The UMC fall policy has been updated to state that “any patient that is a high fall risk and is requesting to leave the unit, must have a provider order on the chart and they must be accompanied by a family member or caregiver”.

Due to this change a new order has been created to be used in this situation and is available now.

The order name is “patient may leave Unit/Floor accompanied by family/caregiver”.

The easiest way to search for this order is by typing in “patient may” in the orders search bar.
