Some tools that assess risk factors for falls also include a scoring system to predict risk for falls, and many facilities plan care according to the amount of risk (according to high, moderate, and low risk, for example). The problem with using the risk score to plan care is that the care plan is not tailored to the individual patient‘s risk factors. For example, two patients deemed ―high risk‖ by score might have different risk factors; one could have delirium, and the other could have impaired gait. The responses to these risk factors need to be different. Trying to apply the same care plan to all ―high risk‖ patients may distract staff from implementing the elements of the care plan that actually address each individual patient‘s risk factors.
