It is estimated that falls cost the Canadian health system $8.7 billion per year. Older adults are hospitalized on average 22 days for falls, which exceeds other causes for admission in this population. Nurses and other health providers have a central role to play in reducing these expenditures by leading and evaluating evidence-based falls prevention initiatives.

The aim of this Evidence Booster is to examine the quality of partnerships with persons and families experiencing care through implementation of the RNAO BPG Client Centred Care (2006) and Person- and Family- Centred Care (2015), in one Ontario long-term care (LTC) and one Ontario hospital Best Practice Spotlight Organization® (BPSO®).
