Loss of control. Loss of function. Even loss of life. These are just a few of the devastating effects of a single, preventable patient fall. Now, as the exclusive distributor of A Vital Sign for Safety: Fall Risk Assessment, HealthStream offers the Hendrich II Fall Risk Model©–a world renowned evidence-based risk assessment tool–as well as interactive education and reporting capabilities to support its use.

Available for fast and easy integration into your institution and electronic patient record, the Fall Risk Assessment program trains clinicians to efficiently identify “at-risk” patients to successfully facilitate prevention of falls. By teaching clinical staff to consider root causes, this program enables them to develop preventative interventions with precision and in real time. Additionally, the Hendrich model can be used to meet Magnet Status standards and guidelines of agencies such as JCAHO.

The Falls Risk Assessment program contains a facility license for the HFRMII, referenced in the Institute of Medicine’s 2004 book Keeping Patients Safe: Transforming the Work Environment of Nurses. Using the model’s eight risk factors with corresponding interventions, the program also includes a two-part 60-minute online module incorporating dynamic learning tools as well as case studies to explain use of the model.
