Abstract
In United States, 800,000 falls occur yearly, and 1 in 3 residents will fall again within a year. This nurse practitioner–led evidence-based practice quality improvement project took place in a nursing home in the northeastern United States. This project focused on the Individualized Multidisciplinary Immediate Fall Response Program developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. It project included residents in skilled units, from 65 years and older. Falls data were analyzed using descriptive statistics over an 8-week period. There were 41 falls preintervention compared with 30 falls postintervention, a decrease of 27%.
