Abstract
▶ Reducing patient falls remains a focus of patient safety programs both nationally and internationally due to the potential to improve quality and cost. ▶ Evaluating the height of patient beds in their low position, in the working position for staff, and in comparison to the patient's home bed may reveal opportunities for further reducing patient falls.
