An Electronic Medical Record–Based Prognostic Model for Inpatient Falls: Development and Internal-External Cross-Validation
Using a large dataset from multiple hospitals and robust methods to model development and validation, we developed a prognostic model for inpatient falls. It had high discrimination, suggesting the model has the potential for operationalization in clinical decision support for prioritizing inpatients for fall prevention. Performance was site dependent, and model recalibration may lead to improved performance.
