Reducing falls in a rehabilitation setting: a safer environment through team effort.
A 2-year falls prevention project has included a concurrent analysis of all falls and a program to prevent falls in a 160-bed rehabilitation hospital. The program has been designed on the basis of the data collected. A consistent follow-up program involves patients and staff in the continuous monitoring of patient safety.
