DESCRIPTION

This paper by an AGS Workgroup proposes updates to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries) fall prevention toolkit to better align with current evidence and primary care workflows. The recommendations emphasize a person-centered approach, streamlined screening, and mobility-focused conversations that can improve patient engagement and make fall prevention more practical and effective in everyday clinical practice.
