This quality improvement presentation poster outlines an evidence-based practice implementation plan to address the clinical problem of increased falls on a Med Surg unit. The plan includes developing a PICOT question, outlining an action plan with recommendations for practice change, a timeline and needed tools. Potential barriers like time, skills and resistance to change are identified. Outcome measures will evaluate fall rates at 1, 3, and 6 months. Notes will provide details on the search strategy, critical appraisal of evidence, and how the plan and outcomes align with improving the quadruple aim of healthcare.
