Definition

  • The Hester Davis Scale measures risk for anticipated physiologic falls using the factors of age, date of last known fall, mobility, medications, mental status, toileting needs, volume/electrolyte status, communication/sensory, and behavior, with multiple options per risk category. The category scores are summed to calculate the level of risk for falls. The scale has been validated for sensitivity and specificity in scoring fall risk.
