last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonWe made an administrative decision to define the total scores from various survey instruments as Quantitative rather than ordinal. There is no intention to change the existing meaning. Changed Component from "Morse Fall risk total" to "Fall risk total" to align existing terms and since the Method states what the fall risk score is based on (Morse Fall Scale). Also changed Scale from "Num" to "Score" since the result represents a score.
