Evaluating Fall Prevention Strategies in a Hospital Setting

A hospital has identified a significant increase in patient falls on a particular unit over the past three months. In response, the Quality Improvement (QI) team has implemented several new strategies aimed at fall prevention, including enhanced staff training, the introduction of fall-risk assessments upon admission, and the availability of non-slip footwear for patients. After three months of implementing these strategies, the team wants to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions.

Which of the following actions should the QI team prioritize to assess the impact of their intervention on the rate of patient falls?
