Fall prevention: is the STRATIFY tool the right instrument in Italian Hospital inpatient? A retrospective observational study

摘要

BackgroundAlthough several risk assessment tools are in use, uncertainties on their accuracy in detecting fall risk already exist. Choosing the most accurate tool for hospital inpatient is still a challenge for the organizations. We aimed to retrospectively assess the appropriateness of a fall risk prevention program with the STRATIFY assessment tool in detecting acute-care inpatient fall risk.
