Evaluation of a patient-centered fall-prevention tool kit to reduce falls and injuries: a nonrandomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether a fall-prevention tool kit that engages patients and families in the fall-prevention process throughout hospitalization is associated with reduced falls and injurious falls. Findings showed that, in this nonrandomized controlled trial, implementation of a fall-prevention tool kit was associated with a significant reduction in falls and related injuries. A patient-care team partnership appeared to be beneficial for prevention of falls and fall-related injuries.

Clinical decision support intervention for rib fracture treatment.
The authors developed an evidence-based rib fracture protocol and clinical decision support intervention (CDSI) at their institution. The purpose of their study was to evaluate implementation and clinical outcomes using this CDSI. They found that the development and use of a CDSI resulted in improved provider delivery of evidence-based practice and was associated with reduced hospital length of stay.
