One Outcomes from My Evidence-Based Practice Question to Measure the Recommended Practice Change
One of the outcomes is the reduced incidence of falls among older adults hospitalized in acute care settings. The recommended practice change aims to use multiple interventions to prevent falls. The interventions will be based on the patient’s risk factor for fall. For instance, if gait and balance is the risk factors for falls, the patients will be educated about the risk factor and the healthcare provider will recommend appropriate exercise programs for the patient to enhance their mobility. The resultant outcome will be reduced incidence of falls because the patient will be aware of the risks that increase their susceptibility to falls.
