Literature Review

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.
A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

PICOT Question Paper

Inpatient falls is one of the critical issues that face health organizations in the current society. Inpatient falls contribute to significant adverse events that worsen the health outcomes of the patients. Patient falls increase the risk of injuries, unexpected care, increased stay in the hospital, and high costs incurred in seeking the needed treatment. The healthcare institution also incurs significant costs due to the extra needs of care by the patient and lawsuits related to patient safety issues (Najafpour et al., 2019). Nurses and other healthcare providers have a role to play in addressing the issue of inpatient falls. They identify and implement effective interventions that have proven in studies to reduce the prevalence of the problem. One of these interventions is the use of practice protocols such as STRATIFY to prevent and reduce the rates of inpatient falls. Therefore, this research paper explores the issue of inpatient falls and proposes a solution to it as follows:

In elderly admitted patients to the hospital, does the use of the STRATIFY risk assessment tool result in a reduction of inpatient falls among this group of patients when compared to usual care in a period of four months?
