Falls affect up to one million hospitalized patients annually, yet conventional risk tools rely on static scoring and may miss real-time instability. FARIS (Fall-Associated Risk & Instability Screening) is a novel trigger-based dynamic framework addressing this gap. Built on Medications, Clinical interventions, Symptomatic instability, and Urgency — while accounting for contextual vulnerability when clinically relevant — FARIS identifies moment-to-moment instability between routine assessments. A single trigger activates FARIS high-risk status. Designed for ambulatory inpatients, FARIS complements existing tools by targeting the critical window where instability begins but remains undetected, representing a proactive shift toward real-time fall prevention.
