Fuld Focus Webinar Series

This series offers free monthly learning opportunities focused on evidence-based practice and implementation science. Each session highlights practical strategies, emerging evidence, and real-world applications to strengthen evidence-based practice, improve implementation, and support sustainable practice change across healthcare settings. Live attendees may earn nursing continuing education (CE) credit.

This webinar series occurs on the last Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m. ET

De-Implementing Alarms for Fall Prevention: National Multi-Site Randomized Controlled Trial

Aug. 27
Noon to 1 p.m.

Low-value healthcare practices often persist in clinical settings despite limited evidence of benefit and potential for harm. This webinar will introduce de-implementation as a structured, evidence-based approach to reducing or stopping ineffective, harmful or non-cost-effective practices while preserving high-value care. 

Using fall prevention alarms as the clinical exemplar, the session will examine why bed and chair alarms remain common in hospitals despite limited evidence that they reduce falls or fall-related injuries and known harms, including alarm fatigue, sleep disturbance, agitation and mobility restriction. We will use the national Alarm with Care Study to demonstrate how de-implementation research can identify optimal approaches for reducing low-value care and promote evidence-based fall prevention practices.

Associate Dean for Evidence-Based Practice and Implementation Science
Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare

Dr. Mcnett’s research focuses on the care of critically ill patients after neurological injury. She leads funded multisite national trials and contributes to international research teams, examining invasive and noninvasive multimodal monitoring and its impact on care delivery, patient outcomes and organizational metrics. She also leads guideline development groups and implementation science initiatives to integrate research, evidence-based practice and quality improvement into healthcare settings. McNett is certified in neuroscience nursing and is a fellow of the Neurocritical Care Society and the American Academy of Nursing.
