Fall prevention strategies and fall-related outcome measures used for inpatients in mental health settings: a scoping review

Although individualised fall risk assessments were commonly used to guide preventative strategies, there remains a need for consistent use of validated risk assessment tools appropriate for mental health inpatients.
