Abstract
A Progressive Care Unit sought to reduce injuries from patient falls. A compliance-monitored bundle of interventions was created with all patients on basic fall precautions and those at higher risk receiving tiered interventions. We surpassed our project goal of a fifty percent reduction with zero injuries.
