What is a Hendrich score?
What is a Hendrich score?
Currently used scoring system is modified Hendrich Fall Risk Score and is termed as Hendrich II Fall Risk Model. It takes into account following parameters and assigns a score to each parameter. The final score is calculated by addition of all individual scores.
How is fall risk calculated?
Divide the number of falls by the number of occupied bed days for the month of April, which is 3/879= 0.0034. Multiply the result you get in #4 by 1,000. So, 0.0034 x 1,000 = 3.4. Thus, your fall rate was 3.4 falls per 1,000 occupied bed days.
What score is high fall risk?
A patient who scores under 25 points is considered to be at low risk of falling, a patient who scores between 25–45 points is considered to be at moderate risk of falling, and a patient who scores higher than 45 points is considered to be at high risk of falling.
What is Schmid fall risk assessment tool?

What is Hendrich 2 fall risk Model?
TARGET POPULATION: The Hendrich II Fall Risk ModelTM is intended to be used in the acute care setting to identify adults at risk for falls. The Model is being validated for further application of the specific risk factors in pediatrics and obstetrical populations.

Scores below 25 indicate a low fall risk, scores between 25 and 45 indicate a moderate risk whilst scores above 45 suggest the patient is at a high fall risk.
What are the 2 validated fall screening tools?

Is the Morse Fall Scale validated?
Morse Fall Scale (MFS) J.M. Morse developed the MFS as an assessment tool to detect patients at high risk for falling. When it was first developed, its validity and reliability scores were high, scoring 0.96 in reliability, 0.78 in sensitivity and 0.83 in specificity.
