Inpatient falls are increasingly prevalent, resulting in their management and limitation becoming a crucial national issue. Despite national efforts and healthcare administrators' significant resources, a persistent rise in falls among inpatients continues. This applied project aimed to ascertain the most prevalent extrinsic factors causing patients to fall to suggest ways that hospital administrators can make evidence-based decisions to reduce inpatient falls in their facilities. The project used Donabedian's framework to identify change areas relating to structure, process, and outcome. A quantitative methodology and secondary data analysis design was used to examine the unanalyzed Nebraska data obtained from six independent researchers. The Nebraska data were then benchmarked against the analyzed Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) data to help answer this project's questions about the top extrinsic factors helping prevent inpatient falls in American hospitals. The project used logistic regression and a meta-analysis to ascertain extrinsic factors that predicted fall outcomes. Some top extrinsic factors helping prevent inpatient falls were assistive devices, visibly identifying at-risk patients, and patient and family education. This project's findings helped inform hospital administrators about the top extrinsic factors causing patients to fall, such as a lack of alarms, safety culture, and staff training. The findings also highlighted the significance of gait belts, rounding, and staff-assisted falls in reducing patient fall and harm. Based on the project's findings, staff must be more aware of extrinsic factors that may increase patients' fall risk. Hospital leaders must also ensure a safe hospital environment and establish policies to help staff provide optimal patient care. Additional research is needed on the judicious use of alarms, safe patient mobilization by non-rehabilitation therapy staff, and replicating this project at other states' hospitals.
