Researchers at CDC’s Injury Center have created the STEADI Tool Kit expressly for health care providers who treat older adults who are at risk of falling or who may have fallen in the past. This tool kit contains resources and tools that will help make fall prevention an integral part of the clinical practice. It is based on a simple algorithm (adapted from the American and British Geriatric Societies’ Clinical Practice Guideline). It includes basic information about falls, case studies, conversation starters, and standardized gait and balance assessment tests.
The webinar gives some information how to implement this program. It also gives good information about falls,the importance of assessment and interventions. It can be viewed here.
