ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations and deaths among older adults globally. LOCALPROBLEM:
About 24% of Canadian nursing home residents fall annually. This quality improvement project evaluated the impact of the Fall Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety (TIPS) program on preventing falls and fall-related injuries among older adult nursing home residents in a subacute care unit in Canada.METHODS:

INTERVENTION The Fall TIPS program was adapted to a nursing home setting to prevent falls. It provides fall prevention clinical decision support at the bedside.RESULTS:
The rates of falls and injuries decreased after implementing the Fall TIPS intervention.CONCLUSION:
Engaging nursing home older adult residents in fall prevention is crucial in translating evidence-based fall prevention care into clinical practice.
