SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Falls are a major source of morbidity in vulnerable patients. This skill provides a structured, data-driven approach to assess fall risk by leveraging standard FHIR resources and validated scoring systems, enabling proactive prevention planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Morse Fall Scale calculation from patient data to stratify risk and identify actionable factors.
  • Hendrich II assessment including cognitive status, depression, elimination, dizziness, gender, antiepileptics, benzodiazepines, and Get Up and Go.
  • Timed Up and Go (TUG) mobility evaluation and integration into care planning.
  • Output: individualized Fall Prevention CarePlan with targeted interventions and medication-review considerations.

Quick Start

Input a patient’s FHIR data and run the fall risk assessment to generate a tailored CarePlan with personalized interventions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate fall risk scores from FHIR patient data?

Calculate fall risk by computing Morse Fall Scale, Hendrich II, and Timed Up and Go scores from FHIR Patient, Condition, Observation, and MedicationRequest resources. The assessment requires active patient data and up-to-date medication lists to stratify risk levels accurately.

What is the Morse Fall Scale and how does it guide fall prevention planning?

The Morse Fall Scale is a validated scoring system that stratifies patient fall risk and identifies actionable factors from clinical data. Applying this score helps generate a tailored Fall Prevention CarePlan with targeted interventions and deprescribing considerations.

Can I use Hendrich II and Timed Up and Go assessments with FHIR Observation resources?

Yes, Hendrich II and Timed Up and Go assessments integrate with FHIR Observation resources to evaluate cognitive status, depression, dizziness, and mobility. These scores combine to determine risk level and inform personalized fall prevention care planning.

Does fall risk assessment require orthostatic vitals and medication lists?

Fall risk assessment requires access to active patient data, up-to-date medication lists, and orthostatic vitals when available. These inputs support accurate Morse Fall Scale and Hendrich II calculations, especially for identifying antiepileptic and benzodiazepine-related risks.

What's the best way to generate a fall prevention CarePlan from clinical decision support data?

Generate a fall prevention CarePlan by running fall risk assessments that compute Morse Fall Scale, Hendrich II, and TUG scores from FHIR data. The output is an individualized CarePlan with recommended interventions and medication-review considerations for deprescribing when appropriate.
