Description
The American Trauma Society is pleased to have presented an Injury Prevention Professional Webinar
"Bridging the Clinical-Community Gap in Fall Prevention”
This live webinar aired on August 14, 2024 at 12:00pm Eastern
This session featured three expert presenters who will begin by sharing results from the TCAA Injury Prevention Sub-committee on Geriatric Falls and Trauma Prevention Coalition collaborative survey, revealing how trauma centers assess the at-home risk of falling in adult patients prior to hospital discharge. Following this, we'll delve into an overview of evidence-based fall prevention programs, highlighting their effectiveness and implementation strategies. The webinar will also cover how ACL grants facilitate these programs, detailing the types of initiatives they support. Finally, we will explore Bingocize, an innovative program that combines bingo with exercise to enhance community-based fall prevention efforts.
