We analyzed the spatial and temporal patterns of inpatient falls in a tertiary hospital. Data were obtained from the adverse-event self-reporting system and the electronic nursing record system of the hospital. Through chart reviews we reclassified the cases. Most falls occurred by the bedside, followed by the restroom and hallway, and they occurred most often between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. These findings indicate when and where nurses should be most alert about falls.
