- Fall Prevention Alarm Prevalence surveymonthly for 30 months
Number of Patients in a study unit with fall prevention alarm activated divided by the number of patients evaluated. This is assessed monthly and is expressed as the proportion of patients assessed with fall prevention alarm activated. This is not a time to event outcome. This measure will be recorded monthly for 30 months during both baseline and intervention periods.
- Patient Fallsmonthly for 30 months
Patients on participating units are monitored for falls beginning the date/time they are admitted to the date/time they are discharged from the study unit. Falls are determined using National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) protocols. Patients may contribute one or more falls during their stay. This is expressed as the Number of Patients who fell/1000 bed days of care. This measure will be recorded monthly for 30 months during both baseline and intervention periods.
