Impact of the End PJ Paralysis interventions on patient health outcomes at the participating hospitals in Alberta, Canada.

To inform a scale-up strategy, this study assessed the impact of the initiative based on select process and outcome measures.

Materials And Methods: Clinical and administrative data were obtained from the hospital Discharge Abstract Database, Research Electronic Data Capture (Redcaps), and Reporting and Learning System for Patient Safety.
