I had a surgery on my hand. Before sedation, I was asked by the nurse if I have fallen. I told her I slipped and fell a couple days before, why? She said we need to know if you are at risk. After my surgery and I was awake they had me WALK unattended to our waiting car!!

At risk for what? Another fall? More depression? Ugh.
One of my relatives was recently in hospital and needed care coordination. Part of the intake was a CMS-mandated question asking if they ever felt lonely even when around family and friends? What?
Great question. Not something that needs (1) asked without immediate follow-up depending on answer (2) asked without MEANINGFUL follow-up and not just meds and (3) to be enshrined in an EMR. Oh, and (4) may or may not be appropriate to ask IN FRONT OF said family.
Also they ask if you’re depressed.
