Background:

Hospital-acquired falls pose a significant risk to patient safety and increase healthcare costs.
Effective falls prevention strategies are crucial in acute care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the successful implementation of an evidence-based falls prevention protocol.
To evaluate the protocol's impact on fall rates in an acute care facility.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive, evidence-based falls prevention protocol was implemented across an acute care facility.
Data on patient falls were collected and analyzed over a 5-year period.

Main Results:

A 50% reduction in falls per 1000 patient days was observed after protocol implementation.
The reduced fall rate was sustained over the 5-year study period without any rebound effect.

Conclusions:

Evidence-based falls prevention protocols can be successfully implemented in acute care settings.
The protocol demonstrated significant and sustained effectiveness in reducing patient falls.
