LOINC long common name : Stay Independent panel [Stay Independent];
LOINC description : The Stay Independent is a self-assessment used to evaluate fall risks. The Stay Independent
assessment aims to increase knowledge about fall risk and measure risk levels including
history of previous falls, steadiness, fear of falling, muscle weakness, incontinence,
loss of sensation, medications, and feeling depressed. In addition, the Stay Independent
recommends follow up assessments for at risk individuals. [PMID: 22152267] The score
is calculated by adding together the number of points for each question answered yes
giving a scale of 0 to 14. If the score totals 4 or more, the individual may be at
a risk for falling [CDC: steadi].;
