Woltsche, R., Mullan, L., Wynter, K., & Rasmussen, B. (2022). Preventing Patient Falls Overnight Using Video Monitoring: A Clinical Evaluation. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 19(21), 13735. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph192113735 This article focuses on the problem of patient falls in healthcare settings and evaluates the effectiveness of overnight portable video monitoring as a falls prevention strategy. The study provided baby monitor equipment to three clinical inpatient wards, allowing for portable video monitoring of high falls risk patients. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in inpatient falls overnight on the target wards. Nursing staff reported feeling better equipped to prevent falls and expressed interest in continuing to use portable monitoring as a falls prevention strategy. I selected this article because it addresses a critical patient safety issue, patient falls, which has significant implications for patient well-being and healthcare costs. The use of video monitoring as an innovative falls prevention strategy is a novel approach, and the study's results provide valuable insights into its effectiveness. Additionally, the study acknowledges the challenges in preventing inpatient falls, especially in the context of an aging population, and offers a potential solution. Heng, H., Kiegaldie, D., Shaw, L., Jazayeri, D., Hill, A.-M., & Morris, M. E. (2022). Implementing Patient Falls Education in Hospitals: A Mixed-Methods Trial. Healthcare, 10(7), 1298. https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare10071298 In this study, the authors focus on patient falls in hospitals and the importance of patient education in preventing falls. They conducted a mixed-methods trial to evaluate the implementation of falls prevention education, involving quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with health professionals. The quantitative analysis revealed that falls prevention education was not consistently implemented in the trial ward, and the qualitative interviews identified barriers and enablers to implementation. I selected this article because it offers valuable insights into the challenges of implementing falls prevention education in hospitals, an issue critical to patient safety. The mixed-methods approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the topic, and the findings highlight the need for better strategies to ensure consistent patient education. This study is relevant for healthcare practitioners, administrators, and researchers interested in improving falls prevention in hospital settings.
