Hendrich II Fall Risk Model

The Hendrich II Fall Risk Model is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess a patient's risk of falling. It considers factors like recent history of falls, confusion or disorientation, dizziness, depression, and certain medications. Each factor is given a score, and the total helps determine if the patient is at low, moderate, or high fall risk. This assessment helps care teams implement appropriate safety measures to prevent falls, especially for older or vulnerable patients. It’s a standardized way to identify those at greater risk and improve patient safety.
