John Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool

The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool is a clinical tool used by healthcare providers to evaluate a patient's likelihood of falling. It considers various factors such as age, medical history, medication use, mobility, and sensory deficits. By assessing these elements, clinicians can identify patients at higher risk of falling and implement targeted interventions to prevent falls, thereby enhancing patient safety. The tool helps prioritize care and resource allocation, ensuring that those most at risk receive appropriate precautions and support during their hospital stay or recovery.
