Introduction The increasing frequency of falls in healthcare institutions necessitates the implementation of effective measures aimed at limiting the occurrence of adverse events. The capstone project aims to accomplish this by proposing the creation of an interdisciplinary team run by a nurse leader. It will include the unit manager, registered nurses, ward unit assistants, patient care technologists, and hospitalists. The team will facilitate practice change by overseeing a quality enhancement initiative, implementing intentional rounding, and applying risk assessment tools. The capstone project’s main objective is to improve the welfare of patients admitted to the hospital’s surgical ward by reducing fall rates. Background Healthcare institutions must prioritize the identification and elimination of risks that predispose their clients to falls. These adverse events are responsible for a high number of accidents within these institutions. Falls cause both physical and psychological problems in the affected individuals. For instance, affected patients may suffer soft tissue injuries, fractures, and contusions. In addition, falls cause significant emotional distress for the patients, their caregivers, and relatives. The aforementioned factors reduce the affected individuals’ quality of life in addition to causing prolonged hospital stay. Rationale Hospital falls lead to prolonged hospital stays, which is costly to patients and leads to the consumption of scarce resources. Falls also cause injuries, heightened anxiety, and distress. It is worth noting that the fear of falling restricts mobility and limits patient autonomy. The mortality rate as a direct result of falls is particularly high among the elderly. Therefore, it is essential to apply evidence-based interventions to prevent falls in healthcare facilities. For instance, nurse-led fall-prevention toolkits are effective because they link evidence-based prevention initiatives to specific risk factors. Filling the Gap Elderly patients stand the highest risk of experiencing falls in hospital settings. This capstone project helps prioritize the adverse effects associate with falls by proposing an innovative and multidisciplinary solution that can be applied to the surgical department. Most of the current strategies in the surgical department seldom apply research evidence. In addition, they do not include the application of risk assessment tools and multidisciplinary teams to address patient falls. While the department applies standardized intentional rounding, it has not been streamlined to address the increasing frequency of patient falls. Capstone Project Development One of the most significant barriers encountered during the project was the lack of reliable cell service for contact with the preceptor. There were frequent interruptions to service that made communication strenuous. In addition, the increased cost of communication in view of the fact that certain aspects of the project required long conversations was problematic. This limited the amount of time available for constructive discussions, which in turn affected the quality of conversations. It is vital to note that increased dependence on the telephone slowed progre
