Abstract
Slips, trips, and falls happen in any health care setting, and they can be enormously expensive. The good news is that you can sharply reduce those accidents by aggressively employing some rather simple strategies. It’s simple, but not necessarily obvious. Sure, your housekeeping staff clean up spills when they’re reported, but how fast? Have you ever had someone slip in a spill between the time it was reported and the time it was actually cleaned up? It happens.
