We use the STRIDE tool for Ambulatory for every patient and every encounter. We created a specific Ambulatory Falls prevention policy. MORSE tool still being used in the Periop areas.
We have a podium presentation for the AAACN conference this year: "A standardized approach to ambulatory fall events". Tools, Best practice, and prevention strategies will be shared. We hope you can attend this presentation.

Hi Lee Ann,
We use the STRIDE falls screening in ambulatory.
Front desk staff, MAs, nursing- or anyone- can complete this screening.
Our policy is every patient, every visit.
Lisa

Subject: Fall risk assessment
Hello,
What fall risk assessment tool do you all use? Epic is our EMR and the Morse Fall Risk Scale is what is available in Epic. It could be tailored for ambulatory care but is more appropriate for a nurse to utilize. We need to have MAs complete the fall risk assessment in many of our clinics and I would like to find an appropriate tool.
Thank you,
Lee Ann
