Stepping Up Safety: Integrating Fall Prevention in EMS Services (Oct 2024)

Stepping Up Safety: Integrating Fall Prevention in EMS Services (Oct 2024)

Falls are the leading cause of injury for older Americans; in fact, one out of every four persons aged 65 and older has reported a fall in the past year. Falls are also the leading cause of EMS activations annually, accounting for over 3 million annual ED visits. EMS has a front-row seat in this epidemic, but little has been done to evaluate its role in a cure. In this month's journal club, we review a recent publication that describes the community benefits of an EMS-recognized and evaluated fall prevention program.
