The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT) is a hospital fall-risk screening framework used in nursing workflows. It aggregates multiple fall-risk factors into a numeric score and supports standardized risk stratification and prevention planning.
Formula: JHFRAT total = sum of risk-factor points (adult practical range often up to 35).

JHFRAT is widely adopted operationally in hospital fall-prevention programs as a structured triage tool.
Higher JHFRAT totals indicate greater inpatient fall-risk signal and need for escalating precautions.
Use for standardized inpatient fall-risk stratification in acute-care and institutional settings.
Cutoff performance may vary by unit type and population; local implementation policies should guide interpretation.
For related assessments, see Hendrich II, STRATIFY and Morse Fall Scale.
