STRATIFY Risk Assessment Tool

STRATIFY: Answer Yes/No to 5 risk factors. Score 1 point for every Yes. A total score of 2 or more indicates high risk.

Assess 5 Risk Factors

1. Past Falls

Did the patient present to hospital with a fall, or have they fallen since admission?

2. Agitation

Is the patient agitated (hyperactive delirium, wandering)?

3. Visual Impairment

Is the patient visually impaired to the extent that everyday function is affected?

4. Frequent Toileting

Is the patient in need of especially frequent toileting (e.g., urgency, diuretics, diarrhea)?

5. Transfer and Mobility

Does the patient have a transfer and mobility score of 3 or 4 (unable or requires major help)?

When to Use

When to Use

Routine inpatient fall risk screening in acute and subacute hospital wards.
Particularly validated and widely adopted in the UK National Health Service (NHS) and European healthcare systems.
Identifying older adults who require immediate bedside fall prevention protocols.

Simplicity and Speed

Unlike the Morse Fall Scale, the STRATIFY tool consists of just 5 simple yes/no questions, making it one of the fastest inpatient fall risk tools for busy nursing staff to complete during shift handovers.

Related Scores in Practice

In clinical practice, this assessment is frequently evaluated alongside other validated measures. Depending on the patient's presentation and specific diagnostic requirements, you may also need to utilize the Morse Fall Scale or the Hendrich Fall Risk to formulate a comprehensive care plan.
