Fall Risk Scoring System and Method

摘要

A system to evaluate the fall risk facing a patient and then adjust the care or observation toward that patient to minimize potential injury is provided. The system includes a fall risk scoring system which is based upon data collected from multiple inputs, including in-room data collection means and historical information. These scores are then updated continually and tracked, so additional knowledge and actions can be taken. Based upon the current scores, and historical scores, the system can then direct various adjustable and specific actions, with the goal of protecting the patient and minimizing injuries.
