Evaluation of a patient-centered fall-prevention tool kit to reduce falls and injuries: a nonrandomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether a fall-prevention tool kit that engages patients and families in the fall-prevention process throughout hospitalization is associated with reduced falls and injurious falls. Findings showed that, in this nonrandomized controlled trial, implementation of a fall-prevention tool kit was associated with a significant reduction in falls and related injuries. A patient-care team partnership appeared to be beneficial for prevention of falls and fall-related injuries.

Beginning with high value care in mind: a scoping review and toolkit to support the content, delivery, measurement, and sustainment of high value care.
The purpose of this review was to create a shared vision for the content, delivery, measurement, and sustainment of patient-centered, high-value care by creating a toolkit for system leaders. The toolkit was developed by translating included evidence into simple, actionable briefs on key topics and added resources. Although potential users have reported that the toolkit is likely to be globally useful, the authors note that it needs comparison to other approaches.

Reliability and usability of a 7-minute chart review tool to identify pediatric prehospital adverse safety events.
As part of a multiphase study, the authors developed and evaluated the reliability and usability of the pediatric prehospital safety event detection system (PEDS), a tool used to identify safety events in prehospital care. They concluded that the PEDS tool is the first chart review tool designed to identify safety events for children receiving prehospital care, and it displayed good usability and reliability in their study.

Use of a comprehensive patient safety tool in primary care practices.
This article describes experiences with the use of the Physician Practice Patient Safety Assessment tool in six safety net practices—three of which were primary care nurse-managed health centers and three were physician-led federally qualified health centers. The authors concluded that this tool has enormous relevance for primary care settings, especially those preparing themselves for patient-centered medical home status and meaningful use.
