    The Fall TIPS (Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety) programme has been shown to be effective in preventing inpatient falls through formal risk assessment and tailored patient care plans. This study from Christiansen et al., published in the Journal on Quality and Patient Safety,  demonstrated that patients with access to the Fall TIPS programme are more engaged and feel more confident in their ability to prevent falls than those who were not exposed to the programme.

    The National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF) has a new approach which focuses on the continuous audit of the care and management of patients who sustain a hip fracture in an inpatient setting. The new process involves the identification of inpatient hip fractures by the National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD). This first report of the continuous NAIF focuses on patients in England and Wales who sustained an isolated hip fracture (IHF) between January and August 2019. Data on organisational policy and practice with respect to inpatient fall prevention and management were collected via a facilities audit, and the data from 2018 NHFD were explored to identify differences between IHF and non-IHF processes and outcomes.
