These efforts reduced falls from 3.5 to 2.2 falls per 1\,000 patient days while reinforcing a culture of safety. \nWhether you work in acute care\, critical access\, LTACH\, rehabilitation\, or quality improvement\, you’ll leave with practical\, evidence-based strategies you can adapt within your own organization. Learn how leadership support\, frontline engagement\, standardized processes\, and a focus on learning — not blame — can create lasting improvements in patient safety.  \nTarget Audience: Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs)\, Chief Quality Officers (CQOs)\, Medical Directors\, Patient Safety Officers\, Risk Management Professionals\, Quality and Performance Improvement Teams\, Hospitalists and Inpatient Physician Leaders\, Nursing Directors and Nurse Managers\, LTACH and Rehab Leaders\, ED Directors\, Managers ED Physicians\, and ED Nurses\, Care Coordination and Case Management Leaders\, Patient Care Services Leaders\, Clinical Practice Leaders\, Clinical Educators\, and other health care professionals.
