    • Our systematic review of all available falls prevention QI strategies for older people encompassing 126 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 84 307 participants is the first to identify effective quality improvement (QI) strategies for preventing falls using network meta-analysis (NMA)
    • Depending on the outcome desired, our results can be tailored to decision-maker preferences and availability of resources
    • We found that effective falls prevention quality improvement (QI) strategies are multi-faceted, and components targeting patients (such as education and reminders), as well as components targeting clinicians (such as team changes, case management and staff education) will increase likelihood of effectiveness
