Assessment of Fall Risk in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults Using the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries Algorithm

Our study confirmed the effectiveness of a multifaceted STEADI assessment in identifying community individuals at risk for falls who may not be detected through the normal standard of care. Educating nurses on performing comprehensive fall risk assessments and creating corresponding action plans with SMART objectives is essential to ensure thorough screening and care of their patients. A collaborative, interprofessional education programme can help train health professional students to gain valuable skills in conducting comprehensive fall risk screenings and developing objectives for future care plans based on those findings.

Abstract

Our study confirmed the effectiveness of a multifaceted STEADI assessment in identifying community individuals at risk for falls who may not be detected through the normal standard of care. Educating nurses on performing comprehensive fall risk assessments and creating corresponding action plans with SMART objectives is essential to ensure thorough screening and care of their patients. A collaborative, interprofessional education programme can help train health professional students to gain valuable skills in conducting comprehensive fall risk screenings and developing objectives for future care plans based on those findings.
