Risk sign displays

"Set of sign displays designed to communicate fall, dehydration and pulmonary aspiration risks and reflect on tailored interventions to manage these events in nursing homes. Risk sign displays are:~* Small, lightweight rubber coloured bracelets with phrases related with the different risks: prevent rather than fall, contain to protect, drink to hydrate and avoid choking.~* Small and coloured signposts next to head of patients bed that are believed to offer some key advantages and increase technically the quality of immediate communication of information and data regarding procedures. It is expected to have greater subject compliance once they will have discrete messages with thoughtful design and colour."
