Summary

This study looks at whether hospitals can safely reduce the use of fall prevention alarms. About 300 hospital staff and units will try different strategies like education and feedback to see if they can lower alarm use without increasing patient falls. The goal is to improve patient safety and reduce alarm fatigue.
