Course overview

Reduce falls, injuries, and avoidable hospitalizations with this evidence-based Geriatric Fall Prevention: Assessment and Care continuing education course. Learn how to implement guideline-aligned screening (including CDC STEADI) and perform a comprehensive multifactorial fall risk assessment across key domains such as gait/balance, orthostatic hypotension, vision, footwear/foot health, home hazards, and medication-related fall risk. You'll leave with practical, setting-specific intervention strategies-exercise prescription (e.g., balance/strength programs and Tai Chi), environmental modifications, deprescribing considerations, and workflow-ready implementation tactics for real-world practice. Case studies spanning community, hospital, and skilled nursing/long-term care settings help you translate the latest recommendations into confident clinical decision-making.
