摘要
Falls are a major concern in the quality and safety of patient care in health care today. Falls contribute to serious injury, increased lengths of stay, and increased costs in the health care industry. This article provides a comprehensive literature review on falls and includes recommendations for the development of a comprehensive fall prevention program focusing on strategies and interventions required for the prevention of falls in an ambulatory surgery setting.
