STRATIFY (St. Thomas Risk Assessment Tool in Falling Elderly Inpatients)

The STRATIFY tool is a risk assessment method used in hospitals to identify elderly patients who are at a higher risk of falling. It evaluates factors such as the patient's mobility, history of falls, and cognitive abilities. By using this tool, healthcare professionals can better understand which patients may need extra precautions to prevent falls during their hospital stay. Ultimately, STRATIFY helps enhance patient safety and reduce the likelihood of injuries related to falls, supporting better overall outcomes for elderly inpatients.
