In this episode of Clinically Significantô, host Maylyn Martinez, MD, MSc explores the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Hospital-acquired disability (HAD). Are fall prevention efforts helping or harming hospitalized patients?

Tune in for the answers to these questions and actionable steps health care providers can take to prevent HAD.
