All process measure scores and the reporting‐fall‐events score were calculated based on the coordinating team's rating of their frequency or effectiveness using the gap analysis (Appendix S2) at study end. Total, injurious, and unassisted fall rates were measured during the end‐of‐study period January‐July 2014. The repeat fall rate was measured for the duration of the study August 2012‐July 2014. Statistical significance was calculated using Spearman exact test for correlations.
