Abstract:
Falls are common events in hospitalized patients and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults. Healthcare professionals can positively impact fall rates through nurse-led strategies such as an evidence-based framework addressing age-related risk factors. A quality improvement project supported by the NICHE Leadership Training Program (LTP), titled "See the E, PEEK on Me," was developed to address falls in older adults on a pilot unit at one campus of an academic health system (AHS). Results of the implementation demonstrated a reduction in falls for patients over the age of 65 over a one-year period.
