Confronting the Crisis: The Prevalence and Impact of Patient Falls in Hospitals
Patient falls are the most common and preventable adverse events in hospitals, with about 700,000 to 1 million occurrences annually in the U.S. This results in approximately 250,000 injuries and 11,000 deaths each year. The impact extends to healthcare staff, especially registered nurses (RNs), who suffer on-the-job injuries at higher rates than other workers, with 51% of these injuries involving sprains, strains, or tears that lead to an average of 7 days away from work.
