Healthcare providers should therefore ensure that they follow the guidelines for risk assessment and rail use from the MHRA and other professional bodies so that the cultural norm in the UK continues to be "opt in", where no bed rails are used unless indicated by a documented clinical ...

The aim of this study is to present guidetomeasure-3D, a web-enabled 3D mobile application that enables older-adult patients to carry out self-assessment measurement tasks, and to carry out a mixed-methods evaluation of its performance, and associated user perceptions of the application, compared...
Capabilities for continuous monitoring of pressures and temperatures at critical skin interfaces can help to guide care strategies that minimize the potential for pressure injuries in hospitalized patients or in individuals confined to the bed. This pape
analysis of an increasingly complex network. While this is considered future work, approaches for assessing epistemic and aleatory uncertainty in Bayesian networks are available from a variety of fields such as environmental risk assessment36, socio-ecological network modeling37, and biogeochemical modeling...
“Definition of Quality Requirements and Associated Risk Categories Under Consideration”section). The risk analysis has a qualitative character, meaning that in the assessment, probability and consequence are not numerically estimated, but are evaluated verbally using qualifiers like high likelihood and ...
So, the solution automates much of that evaluation work, implementing “virtual rails,” or virtual boundaries, around the patient that, if breached, trigger an alert for the medical team. If the patient is in a bed, the rails might follow the outline of the bed. For patients in a ...

Nurses play an integral role in reducing patients' fall risk by implementing a risk assessment scale, early intervention strategies and education. Risk Factors for Fall (Lee, Lee & Khang, 2013; Kiel, 2018a; Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2017) Intrinsic Fa...
Conduct a quantitative safety assessment of the railway system using the acquired BN and identify the key accident factors. Moreover, the dynamic BN reveals the status changes of the barriers when a certain condition changes. Step 6 Provide the cause chain of the accident. ...
