  1. ✓ Adherent
  2. Program adherence: the adherence of staff to the use of the 6-PACK program. Base on program content and program dosage
  3. Program content: Did nurses use the individual 6-PACK interventions as designed by the program designers?
  4. Program dosage (frequency and duration of program use): Did nurses deliver the 6-PACK program as often and for as long as planned, based on three adherence targets: 1) falls-risk tool completion each day of admission; and for patients classified as high risk provision of 2) a ‘Falls alert’ sign; and 3) a sign and at least one additional 6-PACK intervention strategy
