Have the team organize into groups all predictor variables that seem to be similar to one another. For now, you will simply separate them into columns or write them on separate sheets of paper. For example, one group of variables that may be found to predict falls may be “patient‐related,” such as the patient's age, level of mobility, the different diagnoses the patient is dealing with, and so on. These could all be listed in a construct under the heading “patient‐related variables.” You might also create a construct for “staff‐related variables,” such as “was walking with a staff member,” “staff member’s level of training in ambulating patients,” “the staff member was new to this type of unit,” and so on.
