Falls are a major health issue for older adults, leading to injury, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs. The CDC created the STEADI initiative to help healthcare providers screen for fall risk factors and implement prevention programs. Following STEADI, providers assess patients annually for falls history, balance, and fear of falling. Identified risks like medications or poor vision can then be addressed through medication management, exercise referrals, and home safety evaluations. Proper fall screening and prevention can help older patients live independently and safely.
