Preventing inpatient falls is a patient safety target. This study used one health system’s incident reporting tool in the United Kingdom to ascertain the incidence and characteristics of inpatient falls among patients under 1:1 or “cohorting” supervision. Findings indicate that nearly one in five falls occurred while the patient was under enhanced supervision and most commonly occurred in the patient’s bathroom or bedside.
