There is no convincing evidence that hip protectors, movement alarms, or low-low beds reduce falls or injury in the hospital setting. International approaches to developing and maintaining a fall prevention program suggest that commitment of management and a range of clinical and support staff is ...
Preventing in-hospital falls is an important goal in avoiding poor patient outcomes. In this quasi-experimental study, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of a nurse-led fall prevention program in a 300-bed Swiss hospital. Four hundred and nine patients (internal medicine) were included: interv...
The present study is the first to model the cost effectiveness of an intervention for the prevention of falls in hospitals using both cost and effect data collected from a randomized controlled trial. This study also sought to measure the economic burden of an in-hospital fall and the cost of...

A secondary analysis quantified the costs and savings associated with the evidence-based fall prevention program. Our base model estimated the total cost savings of intervention effects (ie, reduction in overall direct and total costs of hospital stay). The model was framed from the perspective of...
