Fall Prevention Intervention in the Emergency Department for Older Adults
In many emergency departments (EDs) around the world, providers care for patients who have experienced injuries related to a fall. Approximately 30% of older adults fall each year [1], resulting in serious injuries, decreased mobility, and loss of independence [2]. The annual Medicare costs for older adult falls is estimated at $31.3 billion and only expected to increase as the population continues to age [3].
