The issue of falls is widely acknowledged as a 
significant concern for public health on a global scale. 
Whilst it is true that the elderly is disproportionately 
impacted by falls, it is important to acknowledge that 
the pediatric population is also highly vulnerable to 
this risk (Veronica Strini et al, 2021). Unintentional 
falls during hospitalization remain a concern for 
healthcare institutions globally despite the 
implementation of various improvement strategies. 
In this sense, the occurrence of falls can be prevented 
through the implementation of Fall Risk Assessment 
(FRA) tools to identify the risk factors and implement 
preventative measures for falling. There are different 
types of tools used in both clinical and territorial 
settings such as the fall risk approach. Globally 1 in 5 
patients experience falls which causes serious injuries 
(Donna Avanecean, et al 2019). 
At Aswan Heart Centre (AHC), the FRA tool has been
applied since 2021 for the purpose of reducing the 
number of fall incidents
