EPM Tools - Patient-Centered Medical Home Annual Questionnaires
View in PDF Format Print this page

As part of SETMA’s Patient-Centered Medical Home, we annually complete five questionnaires for each patient seen to assess the following:

  • Fall Risk
  • Pain Assessment
  • Functional Assessment
  • Wellness
  • Stress

The standard is that each should be completed on all patients at least once a year and more frequently if a change in conditions dictates.  The Fall Risk should be completed on all patients over 50 and on younger patients who as a result of chronic condition are at risk of falling.
Provider performance on these questionnaires is publicly reported below. The content of the questions are as follows:

Once the Fall Risk Assessment is completed, the provider should, on the basis of the score, access the “Guidelines for Fall Precaution” and prepare a plan for preventing falls.
