Objective to study the practical value of adopting standardized communication process in the fall prevention of elderly patients in emergency department; Methods In the form of prospective study, 80 elderly patients received in the emergency department of our hospital from February 2024 to February 2025 were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The control group was a routine communication process, while the observation group was a standardized communication process. The communication efficiency and psychological state of the two groups were compared. Results The efficiency of emergency communication and the incidence of falls in the observation group were significantly superior (P<0.05). The scores of SAS and SDS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction of patients in the observation group was higher (P<0.05); Conclusion Using standardized communication process in elderly patients in emergency department can optimize emergency communication efficiency, prevent falls, improve patients psychological state, and effectively improve nursing satisfaction of elderly patients in emergency department, which has good application value.
