Abstract

Falls continue to occur in the acute care setting despite our best efforts. Decreased falls, increased patient safety, decreased cost, and decreased length of stays in the acute care setting are imperative. This is a benchmark study on the concept of an education pamphlet being presented to patients and family members educating on all fall precautions and interventions that are to be expected to be in use during their stay. Study also reflects fall interventions that are in use and have shown to decrease falls.
