Description
Determination if the fall was unassisted or assisted.
...
An assisted fall occurs when the patient begins to fall, is assisted by another person, but nevertheless reaches the ground or other unintended surface. An assisted fall is considered an adverse event and not a near miss, since the patient is not prevented from reaching the ground or unintended surface.
