Hospitals experience heavy financial burden due to patient falls. Preventing falls can improve patient outcomes as well as reduce financial burden on both the patient as well as the healthcare organization. In this study, we determine the optimal cut-off value for patients at risk for falls using a Falls Screening Tool, the Morse Falls Scale. This study was conducted at a community-owned hospital with 256 acute care private rooms and 36 critical care rooms. This study used only the admission Morse Falls Scale (MFS) score in its analysis.展开更多

For earthquakes between 'large' and 'small', the high-frequencyfall-off constant is not an integer and varies with the size of the earthquake. In this article such a variation is explainedin the perspective of the scaling of stress drop, which proposes a new approach to the study of the scaling of stress dropusing seismic data with lower quality of completeness and high-frequency characteristics. The study on the sourcespectra of the aftershocks of the 1988 Lancang-Gengma, Yunnan, China earthquake shows that the high-frequencyfall-off of source spectra and its variation with the size of earthquake can be well explained by the model that for 'large'earthquakes the stress drop is a constant while for ',small' earthquakes the stress drop increases with the size of theearthquake.展开更多
