Patient falls are some of the most frequent accidents in hospitals, and they can lead to significant personal and financial costs for both patients and facilities. This study examines the relationship between two patients characteristics and patient falls at a large general hospital and a small psychiatric facility in Tennessee; its findings should be useful for hospital risk management.
