Fall Prevention
Preventing Inpatient Falls
- Please ask for help when getting out of bed, especially at night. The hospital is an unfamilar place and most falls occur when patients try to get out of bed on their own to go to the bathroom.
- Your health care team will work with you and your family to let you know other ways to prevent falls and stay safe.
