Summary

This is a Hybrid II de-implementation study to reduce use of fall prevention alarms in hospitals. The intervention consists of tailored, site-specific approaches for three core implementation strategies: education, audit/feedback and opinion leaders. Hospital units will be randomized to low-intensity or high-intensity coaching for the implementation of the tailored strategies.

Conditions

  • Accidental Fall
  • Patient Safety
  • Hospital Acquired Condition
  • Clinical Alarms
  • Mentoring

Interventions

OTHER

High Intensity Coaching

External coaching is a commonly used strategy to change practice, especially for multi-site collaboratives where implementation requires customization to the site. Coaches serve as skill builders who train organizational personnel in quality improvement processes and develop proficiency in the targeted practice area (i.e., fall prevention).
