Pharmacists in almost every practice setting can support older adults in reducing their risk of injury due to falls. The CDC's STEADI program highlights the services we can incorporate into our current patient care interventions as part of the healthcare team. I recommend to every pharmacist who has not done so, take the free CE: STEADI: The Pharmacist’s Role in Older Adult Fall Prevention .

Granted, the Fall Risk screening in the community setting depicted in the last section of the training may raise eyebrows for those of us who have worked the bench in extremely busy (read understaffed) pharmacies, the benefits of every fall prevented across the healthcare spectrum and most importantly to the patient, can not be overstated.
