摘要：

A retrospective review of patient falls in a 248-bed acute-care community hospital was conducted in order to quantify the number of patient falls and identify what factors resulted in these falls. The author reports these results and describes specific measures that were implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of falls in the organization.
