In 2000, more than 1/3 of those 65+ fell. One third of those suffered moderate to severe injuries. The direct cost of those non-fatal falls was estimated to be $19 billion. This will reach $54 billion by 2020. Isn’t it time to break the trend? Find the suggested ways and proven preventions to reduce this enormous financial, physical and emotional cost to people and healthcare. This presentation combines legislative, research and practical medical information with emphasis on interventions that produce a measurable return by integrating providers, research successes, medical home model, electronic records and, even an act of Congress.
