The assessment tool is intended for use of trained Grade 1 teacher in identifying learners with special educational needs. The Multi-Factored Assessment Tool (MFAT) was developed to assist teachers for instructional planning and educational placement of learners.


EGRP partners with others at NCI, NIH, and other organizations to support the collection of physical activity data in existing and planned surveys. Doing so will develop more complete assessments of individuals' physical activity based on information derived from multiple contexts, including transportation, occupation, and recreation.


ASA24 is a freely available web-based tool for epidemiologic, interventional, behavioral, or clinical research from NCI that enables multiple automatically coded self-administered 24-hour recalls and food records.


The purpose of the Interactive Diet and Activity Tracking in AARP (IDATA) study was to evaluate and compare the measurement error structure of diet and physical activity assessment tools against reference biomarkers. IDATA data and/or biospecimens are available as public use data, but researchers must submit a project proposal, which are reviewed by NCI.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease associated with multiple clinical complications. Management guidelines have been established which recommend a risk-stratified approach to managing these patients in primary care. This study aims to evaluate the quality of care (QOC) and effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary risk assessment and management programme (RAMP) for type 2 diabetic patients attending government-funded primary care clinics in Hong Kong. The evaluation will be conducted using a structured and comprehensive evidence-based evaluation framework.






Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major cause of morbidity and was the ninth commonest cause of death in Hong Kong in 2008 [2]. There are approximately 190,000 patients receiving care for DM in the GOPC according to data from HA. Until recently however, there have not been any formal standardized guidelines or protocols regarding the delivery of care for diabetic patients within the public primary care setting. In August 2009, the HA introduced a multi-disciplinary Risk Assessment and Management Programme (RAMP) to improve the quality of care for patients receiving diabetic care in the GOPCs. The RAMP utilizes a standardized protocol consisting of a workflow of checking of relevant clinical parameters including HbA1c, blood pressure (BP), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and an agreed risk assessment criteria for risk level stratification, with different management options assigned to patients of different risk levels and with different needs. Patients with DM who are independent in their activities of daily living and being followed up at regularly at the GOPCs are eligible to enter the RAMP. All enrolled patients undergo a comprehensive risk assessment and screening for diabetes-related complications, and are then assigned to receive appropriate interventions and education provided by a team of multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals according to their stratified risk level. Low risk patients continue with the usual GOPC follow up, medium risk patients are given additional intervention by an advanced practice nurse (APN), and high risk/very high risk patients are given additional intervention by an APN and an associate consultant, who is a specialist family physician. The RAMP is repeated once at least every one to two years for all patients who are enrolled.


The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of care (QOC) and effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary risk assessment and management programme (RAMP) for type 2 diabetic patients attending government-funded primary care clinics in Hong Kong. The evaluation will be conducted using a structured and comprehensive evidence-based evaluation framework.


A longitudinal study using the Action Learning [19] and Audit Spiral methodologies [20] will be used to carry out a systematic analysis of the quality of care, and to identify areas for enhancement in a multi-disciplinary approach to chronic disease management. Audit is the best available tool to evaluate whether patients are receiving the best quality of care. It provides information to the service provider on how to improve the quality of health care delivery. It also reviews the procedures for assessment of patients, service delivery, outcomes and resources allocation. The audit can be regarded as a spiral systematic process, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of care. The audit consists of different cycles and as the audit cycle continues, each cycle aims at a higher level of quality of care.


This prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the modified Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (mJH-FRAT) among elderly patients receiving home health care visits. Out of 107 patients, 33 (30.8%) had one or more falls and seven (6.5%) experienced falls with injury. Receiver Operating Characteristics of the tool in predicting falls showed an Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.66 (p = 0.011) with sensitivity and specificity of 72.5% and 52.2% at the cutoff score of 14. For predicting falls with injury, the AUC was 0.82 (p = 0.016) with sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 65.9% at the cutoff score of 17. Inter-rater reliability of the tool was 85.7% agreement with Cohen's kappa of 0.714 (p The validity of the multi-factorial fall risk assessment tool (MAHC-10) developed by the Missouri Alliance for Home Care (MAHC) Fall Prevention Benchmarking Initiative has been tested. Home Health Agencies may now use this single tool for their OASIS required patient fall risk assessment.


Falls are the most common safety incident reported by acute hospitals. In England national guidance recommends delivery of a multifactorial falls risk assessment (MFRA) and interventions tailored to address individual falls risk factors. However, there is variation in how these practices are implemented. This study aimed to explore the variation by examining what supports or constrains delivery of MFRAs and tailored interventions in acute hospitals.


Evidence suggests that multifactorial approaches may help reduce incidents of falls [1, 7], but there is substantial unexplained variation between hospitals in implementation of MFRAs and associated care plans, e.g., the 2022 National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF) report noted that 34% of hospitals are still using falls risk prediction tools and that, of patients who required one, a mobility care plan was in place for 90%, a continence care plan for 78%, and a delirium care plan for 61% [8]. This realist review sought to explore why there is this variation by examining what supports and constrains implementation of MFRAs and interventions tailored to individual falls risk factors.


The intervention is about multifactorial falls risk assessment and/or falls prevention interventions. Whilst a clear theoretical divide can be made between traditional risk stratification and MFRA tools, hybrid approaches, with the use of a risk stratification tool plus some tailoring may be seen in the literature and in practice and were included in the review.


Ten studies described use of published tools such as the Morse Fall Scale [16, 18, 23,24,25, 32], the Memorial Emergency Department Fall Risk Assessment Tool (MEDFRAT) [33], the Fall Risk for Older People (FROP) [37] and KINDER 1 [19, 41]. Seven studies described locally developed tools e.g., developed through review of the falls literature and/or identifying common risk factors on a particular unit [17, 21, 26, 28, 34,35,36]. In nine studies, it was unclear whether the assessment tool was publicly available or locally developed [15, 20, 22, 27, 29, 31, 37, 40, 42].


Twelve studies assessed delivery of a MFRA as documented in clinical records with improvement post-intervention (intervention referring to MFRA tools that were often introduced as part of a multifaceted improvement strategy, see Appendix iii for study details) reported in 11 studies [15, 18, 20,21,22, 28, 29, 31, 32, 35, 42], encompassing paper-based and HIT tools. One study found MFRA delivery was consistent pre- and post-intervention [19].


Educational strategies, such as training and feedback, were highlighted as supports for tool use because they raised staff awareness of the tool, increased their knowledge of falls prevention practices, and evidenced the importance of following tool guidance [15, 17, 29, 30]. However, it was not possible to distinguish the impact of individual interventions as studies often incorporated multiple strategies to improve practice. Furthermore, HIT was found to introduce additional training needs e.g., in one study staff were motivated to use HIT but required more training than had been provided, to use the technology itself [38].


Theory development was achieved via iterative searches of the literature, building on practitioner ideas with evidence from empirical studies, and allowed for the inclusion of different types of data. Including different methodologies was considered a study strength, providing examples from clinical practice in the form of quality improvement projects. However, data synthesis was challenging because there was much variation e.g., in outcomes assessed, description of methods, and the data reported. Additionally, data evidencing staff experiences of MFRA tool use was limited, impacting quality assessment of the key findings using GRADE-CerQual, see Appendix iv. Facilitation via tools and Patient Participation were prioritised for exploration in this review but further work is needed to build explanation about the delivery of interventions to modify individual risk factors post-MFRA e.g., how information and action is shared between multidisciplinary teams to ensure each risk factor is addressed for patients.
