Patient falls in hospitals result in negative outcomes such as prolonged lengths of stay, various injuries, and even death. Nurses are responsible for identifying patients at risk for falls and implementing preventative measures. The focus of this research is to apply a systems engineering approach, Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) to the nursing domain. Our interdisciplinary effort has begun to identify areas of risk and preventative measures.
