Safety of patients is a vital component in healthcare settings by ensuring quality care, minimizing the
risk factors, appropriate documentation of patient’s conditions and analysis of incidents to deplete the
severe impacts of disease conditions on patient’s health. Falls in elder patient is the most common
patient safety challenge in healthcare settings which lead to functional decline, physical debility, chronic
pain and even death (Bjerk et al., 2017). Various interventions have been proposed to reduce the rate of
falls among the elder population and falls-related injuries. For quality improvement projects, my
proposed intervention is to introduce the exercise interventions in the healthcare facilities and educate
the staff of the facility to implement the physical training and mobility interventions in a care facility to
reduce the rate of falls among elderly patients. Exercise is considered an effective single intervention for
the prevention of falls like other multifaceted intrusions (Cummings, 2019). Evidence suggested that
exercise is a stand-alone and cost-effective intervention for the prevention of falls in healthcare settings
and at the community level (Cummings, 2019). The stakeholders for this intervention will include nurses,
physicians, patients, and physical trainers. For this intervention, hospital personnel should be educated
about exercise intervention to improve balance and muscle strength. This intervention will not be costly
and require budgeting of education and training tasks. The leadership style that would be effective for
this intervention includes a democratic and transformational leadership style that involves the
participation of everyone in the intervention to bring a positive change. It has been documented in
various literature that if healthcare staff is more familiar and educated about falls in elderly and fall
prevention interventions in clinical settings involving assessment of predisposing factors to fall,
