Popis: The objective of the clinical project was to plan and deploy a knowledge translation approach to prevent falls among elderly patients hospitalized in a unit of cardiovascular medicine. A combination of education strategies built around interactive workshops enabled the implementation of a screening tool and of an up-to-date preventive intervention guide. Twenty-four workshops were conducted in all three work shifts and an implementation follow-up was made. The participation rate was 93% of the unit's active staff The increased use of prevention tools and of an intervention guide to prevent falls suggests an increased level of awareness as a result of the project. The staff expressed their satisfaction on having been consulted and involved early in the implementation process. Moreover, the flexible schedule and focus on a bilateral sharing of knowledge through brief interactive workshops were appreciated.
