In STEADI, fall risk is conceptualized as a chronic illness, as steps to address underlying health issues and prevent falls require a similar reorganization of health care system processes and regular patient/provider interactions over an extended time period. We excluded 288 patients (19%) due to a prior diagnosis of frequent falls, dementia, being nonambulatory, or on hospice. Participants were classified at baseline in three categories of fall risk (low, moderate, severe) using a modified algorithm from the Center for Disease Control's STEADI (Stop Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries) and fall risk from data from the longitudinal NHATS. This front-end risk stratification into high- and low-risk allowed PCPs to have the timed walking test, vision, and orthostatic data early in their visit, eliminating the need for additional testing later. We systematically incorporated STEADI into routine patient care via team training, electronic health record tools, and tailored clinic workflow. However, Part 1 can be used as a falls risk screen.

The Stay Independent Falls Prevention Toolkit is an aid for Primary Care Teams for the assessment of an individual's risk of falling, including practical strategies to reduce this risk. Chart review was conducted on a subset (405) of the 773 eligible patients who received STEADI from June 9 through December 31, 2014. However, many doctors dont due to time constraints.

A retrospective chart review of patients aged 65 and older who received STEADI measured fall screening rates, provider compliance with STEADI (high-risk patients), results from the 12-item questionnaire (Stay Independent), and comparison with a 3-item subset of this questionnaire (three key questions). Ranges * tive values may be used in conjunction with a complete evaluation to interpret the Norma meaning of a patient's 6MWT. Data abstraction also included all interventions provided to patients who scored high-risk (score 4) on the Stay Independent questionnaire as previously described in the description of the studys workflow (e.g., administration of the Timed Up and Go test, orthostatic blood pressure measurements, vision screening, evaluation of feet problems, medication review). Hypotension or orthostatic hypotension were defined based on chart review for the prior year during which time a patient had at least one measurement of blood pressure less than 120 mm Hg systolic or a difference in systolic blood pressure of 20 points when orthostatic blood pressure was measured. The CDC developed the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries (STEADI) initiative to make fall prevention a routine part of clinical care.
