Fall Reduction Program - Definition of Fall
Publish | January 01, 0001
Is there a standard definition of a patient/resident fall or does each organization need to define it?
Each organization needs to define what they consider to be a patient/resident fall. (Note: state law or regulation may define this for Nursing Care Centers.)
