TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Effect of automatic inpatient fall prediction using routinely captured EMR data: preliminary results JO - Studies in health technology and informatics A1 - Cho, Insook A1 - Chung, Eunja SP - 828 EP - 829 VL - 225 IS - N2 - The increasing adoption of electronic medical record (EMR) systems including nursing documentation worldwide provides opportunities for improving patient safety by the automatic prediction of adverse events using EMR data. An inpatient fall is a preventable adverse event that can be managed more effectively and efficiently through a data-driven predictive approach. This study implemented a new approach and explored its effects in neurologic inpatient units. The results suggest that integrating an automatic fall prediction system with the EMR system could reduce inpatient falls.
