Hourly rounding has been shown to reduce patient fall rates in hospital settings compared to using tab or bed alarms alone. Study 1 found that implementing hourly rounding on inpatient units resulted in a 23% reduction in falls, though it was not statistically significant. Study 2 was a systematic review finding that most studies reported hourly rounding as an effective way to reduce fall rates in hospitals. Together these studies indicate that hourly rounding may help prevent falls more than other interventions alone and has been associated with reductions in fall rates in various hospital settings.
