Fall Risk Management: Causes and Solutions

Homebound seniors (65 and older) could experience more falls due to less physical activity as most continue to shelter in place. As a result, case managers might experience an increase in patient care support due to non-fatal falls than previously experienced. The long-term effects of a fall can be life altering that can be addressed in the hospital and rehab setting using validated screening tools and patient empowerment techniques for improved outcomes.

The result is less falls and developing a safer community. While falls are multifactorial, understanding what leads to them and interventions available to maximize function and reduce future readmissions, doesn't have to be complex.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

● Identify fall risk factors that lead to hospital admission/readmission in older adults
● Describe evidence-based interventions to minimize risk of fall post-discharge from
hospital/rehab to home
● Describe the zones of opportunity to mitigate fall risk and who plays what role and when
● List community-based resources to maximize your zone of opportunity
