ConceptSTRATIFY Falls Risk Assessment Tool
DescriptionAssessment tool for identifying falls risk in elderly patients admitted to hospital or other 24h healthcare institutions. This version of the tool is based on a modified Norwegian translation, which has been deployed by the The Norwegian Patient Safety Programme.
UseTo be used for risk assessment of all patients over the age of 65 and other adults with neurological or cognitive conditions or significant visual impairment, within 24h of being admitted to a healtchare institution. The dataelements 'Transfer' and 'Mobility' under the cluster 'Transfer + Mobility' was in the original STRATIFY collected from the Barthel ADL Index. As STRATIFY and Barthel has diverged, is this archetype made independent of the Barthel archetype. The final score can either be calculated manually (entered by the clinician) or automatically (automatic calculation based on the values recorded).
PurposeFor screening for falls risk in patients over 65 years of age, and other adults with neurological or cognitive conditions or significant visual impairment.

1: Yes [The patient has had falls during the last 3 months.]
Visual impairmentsVisual impairments: Is the patient visually impaired to the extent that everyday function is affected?

0: No [The patient isn't in need of frequent toileting.]
1: Yes [The patient is in need of frequent toileting.]
Transfer + MobilityTransfer + Mobility: The sum of the scores from the elements 'Transfer' and 'Mobility' are used in 'Points', which is then used in the 'Total score'.
TransferTransfer: Describe the patient's level of independence in transfer from bed to a chair.
0: Unable to move [**(nb)(nb)]
1: Needs major help [**(nb)(nb)]
2: Needs minor help [**(nb)(nb)]
3: Independent with or without aids [**(nb)(nb)]
MobilityMobility: Describe the patient's level of independent mobility.
0: Immobile [**(nb)(nb)]
1: Independent in a wheelchair [**(nb)(nb)]
2: Uses a walking aid or walks with help of one person [**(nb)(nb)]
3: Independent [**(nb)(nb)]
PointsPoints: The points from "Transfer" and "Mobility" are added together. If the sum is 0-2 or 5-6, 0 points are given. If the sum is 3-4, 1 point is given.
min: >=0; max: <=1

Total scoreTotal score: Sum of the scores from all the elements.
0 = low risk, 1 = moderate risk, >2 = high risk.
min: >=0; max: <=5
