This project examined the use of EBP teamSTEPPS to enhance communication and teamwork. Prior to this EBP project, clinical nursing staff were not aware of environmental risk factors contributing to inpatient falls. Patient education regarding fall risks varied across the department and preventive strategies were not standardized. EBP teamSTEPPS provided clinical nursing staff with a simple, yet structured approach to identify fall risk factors and apply patient-specific interventions. Most notably, this project emphasized shared accountability and adherence to a stanmental approach because inpatient falls were considered the nurse executive, patient safety priority.
