The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT) was developed as part of an evidence-based fall safety initiative.  This risk stratification tool  is highly effective when combined with a comprehensive protocol, and fall-prevention products and  technologies. The JHFRAT is currently being used in hundreds of hospitals worldwide.  Your facility may now purchase a license to use this tool (each facility/hospital within a health system requires a separate license).

The one-time $850 fee includes:

• License to use it in one facility in electronic and/or paper form
• PDF file of the tool (to use as a paper document or have embedded into your EHR)
• PDF file of the Johns Hopkins Fall Prevention Guidelines by Risk Category
• PDF files for three publications by Johns Hopkins experts about the effectiveness of the tool
