In 2020, the United States began experiencing the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Severe disease requires hospitalization, which itself poses risk to one’s health, including the risk of falling while hospitalized. Our interdisciplinary team conducted a retrospective study to describe characteristics of in-patient falls in persons hospitalized with COVID-19, those hospitalized with pending COVID-19 test results, and those with a history of COVID-19. Data used in this study included post-fall documentation from over 100 falls from 23 hospitals across six states. In this presentation, we will share our results, including a description of characteristics of patients who experienced a fall, variables that describe the fall itself, and common contributing factors.
We will also share the implications of these results, including suggestions for how to manage fall risk in patients with COVID-19 and how to maintain a focus on quality improvement initiatives.
