Implementing a Clinically Based Fall Prevention Program

An article recently published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, concludes that fall prevention programs, like CDC’s Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) can be successfully integrated into primary care when supported by a clinical champion, coupled with timely staff training/retraining, incorporated into the EHR, and adapted to fit into practice workflow. The STEADI initiative was developed to help primary care providers incorporate fall prevention into clinical practices, and this article reports findings from the roll out of STEADI in a large health system in New York State.
