The Clinical Value of Implementing the Candrive Risk Stratification Tool for Older Driver

Driving safety conversations are some of the most challenging moments in geriatric care. It requires clinicians to balance patient independence, safety, family expectations, and clinical responsibility, often without standardized support. This presentation will introduce the CanDrive Risk Stratification Tool (RST), a validated, evidence-based tool developed from longitudinal research to help clinicians communicate driving risk more clearly, consistently, and confidently. This session will share key validation findings, practical lessons from early clinical implementation, and a new opportunity for geriatric and memory clinics across Ontario to help shape how the tool is integrated into real-world practice. By bringing together clinical teams and leaders, this initiative aims to strengthen patient-centered decision-making, reduce uncertainty, and define best practices for broader implementation. Your perspective will play an important role in shaping what comes next.11
