Description:

CDC’s Stopping Elderly Accidents Deaths and Injuries (STEADI) initiative is an evidence-based older adult fall pre- vention strategy. STEADI consists of three core elements: screen patients for fall risk, assess a patient’s risk factors, and intervene to reduce risk by giving older adults tailored interventions.

To help healthcare providers screen, assess, and intervene, CDC has recently refreshed the provider tools and resources. Many of these tools can be integrated into your electronic health record (EHR) system. Check with your EHR provider to see what may already be available to you.
