Keynote Speakers
Sue Ann Guildermann, RN, BA, MA
and
Linda Shell, RN, BS, MA
Both speakers conduct training programs for Empira, a Minnesota consortium of older adult service providers. The Empira fall prevention program is a combination of nationally recognized evidence-based, fall prevention practices and practical applications from the most recent research findings. Learn their program outcomes from skilled nursing facilities that are now alarm-free, restraint-free, corrected bed heights (no low beds), no floor mats and the cautionary use of gripper socks. This is not a "nursing-only" program. It requires the skills, knowledge, participation and commitment of all employees in all departments. In our fall prevention program, we discovered the primary internal cause of falls is poor quality sleep of the residents. This presentation will address the quality sleep issue through the Restorative Sleep Vitality Program, a program to enhance residents' sleep and wake.
