Fall Prevention
Inpatient falls and fall-related injuries continue to be a complex challenge that health care organizations face. In acute care settings, inpatient falls represent the largest category of reported incidents, costing approximately $20.2 million annually in resultant diagnostic tests, injury repair and rehabilitation costs, legal expenses, and patient and family dissatisfaction. Because safety is a hospital’s number-one service standard, protecting patients from falls, injury, and ensuring a safe environment are fundamental to providing high-quality care.

Consider the Following 10 Facts on Falls
  1. Falls rank high on the list of sentinel events tracked by the Joint Commission, accounting for approximately 5% of all sentinel events through the end of 2003.¹
  2. Beginning in 2005, and continuing in both 2006 and 2007, JCAHO has included fall reduction in their annual National Patient Safety Goals for hospitals.
  3. In 2003, falls represented nearly 47% of all safety reports and aggregated events within the Veteran Affairs National Center for Patient Safety database.²
  4. As acute-care hospital patients, about one in five older patients fall during their stay.³
  5. More than 50% of all falls occur while patients are trying to exit their bed to get to the toilet.&sup4;
  6. Falls from bed are associated with significant physical and psychological complications, including: injury (e.g., hip and other fractures); immobility resulting in muscle weakness, functional disabilities, and risk for further falls; and psychological distress (e.g. depression, fear of falling).
  7. Falls experienced by patients are equally distressing for their caregivers (e.g., nurses, nursing aides, etc.), often leading to great concern about the patient's safety and legal liability.
  8. Immediate action should be taken to create a safe room environment for the patient. These types of interventions are integral to most fall prevention programs.&sup5;
  9. The average financial cost for a bed-related fall is $7,785.&sup6;
  10. The low height of most North American hospital beds is 21-inches (without a mattress). A report of lower-leg lengths among 233 elderly patients found that 75% had lower-leg lengths of less than 17-inches. For these patients, beds that can be individually adjusted to accommodate their lower-leg length will promote safer transfers from bed.&sup7;
