Summary
The purpose of this single arm intervention study is to determine if the fall rate (as measured by falls per 1000 patient days) for patients designated "high fall risk" decreases with the use of the PUP™ [Patient is UP Falls Prevention System] when compared to the historical falls rate data for the prior 12 months from those same nursing units within the OSUWM Brain & Spine Hospital.
