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.

User-centered design groups to engage patients and caregivers with a personalized health information technology tool.
The researchers’ goal was to develop a tool that could be used in the real-world, daily practice of Hematopoietic Blood and Marrow Transplant (HCT) patients and caregivers (users) in the inpatient setting. To that end, they examined the views, needs, and wants of users in the design and development process of the Bone Marrow Transplant Roadmap through user-centered Design Groups.

A web-based, patient-centered toolkit to engage patients and caregivers in the acute care setting: a preliminary evaluation.
The researchers implemented a web-based, patient-centered toolkit that engages patients/caregivers in the hospital plan of care by facilitating education and patient-provider communication. Of the 585 eligible patients approached on medical intensive care and oncology units, 239 were enrolled (119 patients, 120 caregivers). They found that the average system usability scores and satisfaction ratings of a sample of surveyed enrollees were favorable.
