Creating a Falls Risk Assessment Report
In this article, we will outline the process of creating a falls risk assessment report using the reporting tool.
- Begin by navigating to the reports tab and selecting "New Report." This will open a box for report creation.
- Choose the option to select all information to ensure comprehensive data inclusion.
- Define the focus of the report. In this case, we will look for falls risk assessments. Select the falls risk assessment option.
- Review the default fields included in the report. These typically include:
- Who edited the last falls risk assessment
- What actions were taken (created, old value, new value, edit date)
- Remove unnecessary fields. For this report, we do not need to know who edited it. Retain the creation date and edit date.
- Add relevant fields to the report:
- Include the person’s name as the first column.
- Add the date of the falls risk assessment to show when it was created.
- Consider including who created the assessment.
- Incorporate custom field questions that are relevant to the falls risk assessment. For example, include:
- History of seizures
- Self-injurious behavior
- Staff assistance required
- Scoring details
- If applicable, include additional fields such as:
- The RN who signed the assessment
- The signature date
- Save the report and choose a public folder for accessibility. Confirm that the report is saved and visible in the reports section.
- To run the report, select the saved report from the list.
- Utilize filters to refine the data:
- Use the date range filter to specify a range for the edit date.
- Options include selecting a specific date or setting a custom date range (e.g., from July 1 to the current date).
- Apply the filters and review the results. The report will display the total number of records, and the total score based on the applied filters.
