Selecting and tailoring implementation strategies for deimplementing fall prevention alarms in US hospitals: a group concept mapping study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Many hospitals use fall prevention alarms, despite the limited evidence of effectiveness. The objectives of this study were (1) to identify, conceptualise and select strategies to deimplement fall prevention alarms and (2) to obtain feedback from key stakeholders on tailoring selected deimplementation strategies for the local hospital context.

Methods

Hospital staff working on fall prevention participated in group concept mapping (GCM) to brainstorm strategies that could be used for fall prevention alarm deimplementation, sort statements into conceptually similar categories and rate statements based on importance and current use. Hospital staff also participated in site-specific focus groups to discuss current fall prevention practices, strategies prioritised thro
