    **Nursing 473: Project Proposal**

    Reducing Secondary Falls and Improving Functional Recovery After Hip Fracture

    **Assessment and Identification of the Problem/Need**

    **_Issue that led to identification of your project topic:_**

    On our inpatient rehabilitation unit, informal conversations with nurses and physical therapists surfaced a shared concern: patients recovering from hip fracture surgery were routinely discharged with non-individualized activity instructions rather than a structured home exercise plan. A review of discharge documentation confirmed this impression, showing inconsistent exercise teaching across patients, with some receiving only a printed handout and others receiving no instructions at all. This gap is clinically significant because many patients who fall once are readmitted within months due to a repeat fall, and the absence of a standardized, evidence-based exercise pathway leaves a preventable risk unaddressed at the point of discharge.

    **_Main purpose of your project:_**

    The purpose of this project is to design a nurse-led, multicomponent exercise rehabilitation pathway for patients discharged from the unit after hip fracture surgery, in order to reduce secondary falls and improve functional mobility during the post-discharge recovery period.

    **_Currently informed by best evidence:_**

    The project is grounded in a synthesis of current literature, including systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials showing that multicomponent, home-based exercise rehabilitation (strength, balance, and functional training) improves mobility outcomes more consistently than single-element programs (Lee & Lee, 2022; Pantouvaki et al., 2023). It further draws on evidence that caregiver involvement and structured follow-up improve adherence and reduce fear of falling (Prieto-Moreno et al., 2024, 2025), and that coordinated discharge planning and orthogeriatric co-management are associated with better long-term outcomes than fragmented care (Dakhil et al., 2021; Rocha et al., 2024).

    **Planning**

    **_Nursing/leadership/change theory or model guiding this project:_**

    IHI Model for Improvement, using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle.

    **_Primary QSEN Competency addressed:_**

    Quality Improvement — using data on screening rates, exercise adherence, and mobility scores to test and refine practice changes.

    **_Project Title:_**

    Nurse-Led Exercise Rehabilitation Pathway to Reduce Secondary Falls After Hip Fracture

    **_Personal Opportunity Statement:_**

    I would like to help adult post hip fracture surgery patients on my unit leave the hospital with a clear, individualized plan for regaining strength and mobility, rather than generic advice that leaves them vulnerable to another fall.

    **_Overarching Project Goal (THINK BIG):_**

    Reduce secondary falls and improve functional mobility among patients discharged after hip fracture surgery.

    **_Aim Statement:_**

    Within six months of implementation, at least 90% of hip fracture patients on the unit will receive a standardized fall-risk and mobility screening at admission and an individualized exercise plan prior to discharge, with the goal of reducing 30-day secondary fall/readmission rates and improved functional mobility between discharge and 30-day follow-up.

    **Measures**

    **_Outcome Measure(s):_**

    Rate of secondary falls or fall-related readmissions within 30 days of discharge.

    Change in functional mobility score between discharge and 30-day follow-up.

    **_Process Measures:_**

    Percentage of patients who receive a fall-risk and mobility screening (TUG, Morse Fall Scale) at admission.

    Percentage of patients/caregivers who receive the exercise handout and discharge teaching prior to discharge.

    Percentage of patients/caregivers reached for the 2-week follow-up call.

    **_Balancing Measures:_**

    Nursing time spent on screening and follow-up calls, to monitor added workload burden.

    Patient/caregiver-reported difficulty completing the exercise program (assessed at follow-up call).

    **_Changes to Test:_**

    Introduce a brief fall-risk and mobility screening (TUG, Morse Fall Scale) at admission for all hip fracture patients.

    Provide a standardized, multilingual exercise handout and caregiver-inclusive teaching prior to discharge.

    Conduct a follow-up phone call approximately two weeks post-discharge to assess adherence and troubleshoot barriers.

    **Strategy Timeline**

    Specify each step required to plan, implement, and evaluate the project:

    | | | | |
    | — | — | — | — |
    | **Activity (what)** | **Site (where)** | **Participants (who)** | **Date** |

    | Train nursing staff on screening tool, exercise handout, and follow-up call protocol | Inpatient rehab unit | All unit nursing staff, project lead | Week 4 |
    | Pilot PDSA cycle 1: implement screening + exercise teaching with a small group of patients | Inpatient rehab unit | Nursing staff, patients/caregivers | Weeks 5–8 |
    | Conduct 2-week follow-up calls; collect process and balancing measure data | Phone / remote | Nursing staff, patients/caregivers | Weeks 6–11 |
    | Expand to full unit if outcomes support it; begin 6-month outcome tracking | Inpatient rehab unit | All unit staff, project lead | Month 3–6 |

    Reducing Secondary Falls and Improving Functional Recovery After Hip Fracture

    **Assessment and Identification of the Problem/Need**

    **_Issue that led to identification of your project topic:_**

    On our inpatient rehabilitation unit, informal conversations with nurses and physical therapists surfaced a shared concern: patients recovering from hip fracture surgery were routinely discharged with non-individualized activity instructions rather than a structured home exercise plan. A review of discharge documentation confirmed this impression, showing inconsistent exercise teaching across patients, with some receiving only a printed handout and others receiving no instructions at all. This gap is clinically significant because many patients who fall once are readmitted within months due to a repeat fall, and the absence of a standardized, evidence-based exercise pathway leaves a preventable risk unaddressed at the point of discharge.

    **_Main purpose of your project:_**

    The purpose of this project is to design a nurse-led, multicomponent exercise rehabilitation pathway for patients discharged from the unit after hip fracture surgery, in order to reduce secondary falls and improve functional mobility during the post-discharge recovery period.

    **_Currently informed by best evidence:_**

    The project is grounded in a synthesis of current literature, including systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials showing that multicomponent, home-based exercise rehabilitation (strength, balance, and functional training) improves mobility outcomes more consistently than single-element programs (Lee & Lee, 2022; Pantouvaki et al., 2023). It further draws on evidence that caregiver involvement and structured follow-up improve adherence and reduce fear of falling (Prieto-Moreno et al., 2024, 2025), and that coordinated discharge planning and orthogeriatric co-management are associated with better long-term outcomes than fragmented care (Dakhil et al., 2021; Rocha et al., 2024).
