This just in from the CDC - Make STEADI Part of Your Medical Practice
Posted June 7, 2016
Falls are not an inevitable part of aging. There are specific things that you, as their health care provider, can do to reduce your clients' chances of falling. STEADI's tools and educational materials will help you to:
- Identify patients at low, moderate, and high risk for a fall;
- Identify modifiable risk factors; and
- Offer effective interventions
