The article presents single fall-risk screening tools as insufficient for reducing falls and less comprehensive than multifactorial assessment. Nurse managers viewed the Morse Fall Scale as overly general and subjective, with limited predictive validity. The Chinese Nursing Association recommended the Morse Fall Risk Assessment Scale with clinical judgement for adult inpatients in 2021. Managers wanted multidisciplinary assessment involving specialists such as neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and nutritionists. Managers envisioned intelligent systems that could collect gait and medication data, produce real-time alerts, and integrate findings dynamically.
