Lancaster AD, Ayers A, Belbot B, et al. Preventing falls and eliminating injury at Ascension Health. Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety. 2007 Jul;33(7):367-375.

A nearly 10 percent system-wide reduction in acute care fall rates was achieved by implementing a standardized risk assessment at defined frequencies along with other tailored prevention strategies. Key steps caregivers can take to prevent falls and fall injuries are described.
