Falls can be a frequent occurrence in older adults residing in long-term care facilities. At the project site there was no systematic process to impact falls, so an evidence-based solution was sought. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine if the translation of Li et al.'s research utilizing Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance (TJQMBB) exercise in conjunction with the current fall risk assessment would impact fall rates among older adults over a 12-week period in an urban Georgia long term care facility. Betty Neuman's systems theory and Kurt Lewin's change model provided the scientific underpinnings for the project. Data were extracted from the project site's electronic health record. A total of 153 patients were included, with n = 78 in the comparative group and n = 75 in the implementation group. To analyze the data, a chi-square test was conducted. Results showed a statistically and clinically significant improvement in fall rates from 59.0% in the comparative group to 26.7% in the implementation group, X2 (1, N = 153) = 16.27, p = .001. Clinical significance was supported by the 32.3% decrease in falls following the intervention. Based on the results, the implementation of Li et al.'s research on TJQMBB exercise in conjunction with the current fall risk assessment, may impact fall rates. Recommendations include sustaining the project at the site and disseminating the results.
