The American Society for Health Care Risk Management Sept. 5 announced two AdventHealth hospitals in Florida will receive its 2024 Innovation Award. AdventHealth Dade City and AdventHealth Zephyrhills are being recognized for the success of their falls prevention program. The three-hour training program began in January 2023 and reduced falls by 80% through nearly all inpatient units within the first four months, sustaining those results since its inception. The hospitals will receive the award during the ASHRM Annual Conference Oct. 6-9 in San Diego.
