Pharmacist Fall/Polypharmacy Assesment Tool

Good Afternoon-

Our organization is looking at increasing the role of pharmacists in the assessment of polypharmacy and specifically to start looking prospectively at the medications upon admission that may contribute to falls. Does anyone has a vetted pharmacy specific tool that they can share and has anyone leveraged the EMR to assist with identifying these patients. We have EPIC as our EMR.

Thank you for any information that you can share.
