Using the Hendrich II Inpatient Fall Risk Screen to predict outpatient falls after emergency department visits.
This study examined the utility of using the Hendrich II Inpatient Fall Risk Screen to predict outpatient falls in elderly patients after emergency department (ED) visits. Individuals aged 65 and older seen in the ED from January 2013 to September 30, 2015 participated in the study. The Hendrich II screen was found to correlate with outpatient falls, but it is likely it would have little utility as a stand-alone fall screen. When the screen was combined with other potential confounders or predictors, the screen performed much better.
