The development of the model highlights the challenge of heterogeneity in factors and reporting found in the studies of patient falls, which hinder our understanding of the role of the built environment in mitigating risk. A more comprehensive investigation comparing the model with actual patient falls data is needed to further refine model development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1937586720959766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,24]],"date-time":"2020-09-24T06:11:10Z","timestamp":1600927870000},"page":"350-367","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Development of a Novel Computational Model for Evaluating Fall Risk in Patient Room Design"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4265-0661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roya Sabbagh","family":"Novin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8799-855X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ellen","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Center for Health Design"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tucker","family":"Hermans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Merryweather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","unstructured":"Agency for Health Research and Quality.
