During my clinical rotation at an emergency unit within a local healthcare facility, I noticed that the hospital experienced a gradual increase in the number of patient falls every day. Patients who experienced falls developed serious complications, including fractures, lacerations, and internal bleeding. As a result, many patients reported negative outcomes while the facility experienced a significant increase in healthcare utilization by patients.
