CDC STEADI Fall Prevention
Training & provider links
Provider training and CE, rather than a professional specialty credential.
Addresses $31B Medicare fall injury spend. EHR-integrated screening. Trifecta approach: screen, assess, intervene. CDC-backed algorithm.
Six dimensions per lens, each with its reasoning.
STEADI translates evidence-based fall prevention into clinical workflow; population-level fall reduction supported.
Applicable to any clinician treating older adults; fall risk tools usable in outpatient, home health, and primary care.
STEADI tools referenced in CMS fall prevention quality measures; supports documentation for Medicare fall risk billing codes.
Free online training modules; approximately 1-2 hours; no cost; immediate access; zero barrier.
Valued in geriatric programs and quality improvement roles; not commonly listed as required in job postings.
Systematic screening normalizes fall risk conversation; patients appreciate structured approach.
Older adults rarely pay cash for falls screening; reimbursed through Medicare wellness, not cash.
Free toolkit; zero scarcity, no pricing power.
Public-domain framework anyone can use; no defensibility.
Could anchor a community-falls program staff can deliver, but margins are thin.
Consumers don't search for 'STEADI'; they search for balance/falls help.
Free, online, completed in hours.
Useful curricular content but not a recognized credential for hiring/promotion.
Anchors a real geriatrics research literature on screening and outcomes.
Directly maps to geriatrics, community health, and population-health course content.
Reasonable evidence for screening; intervention effect sizes more modest.
Not typically listed as preferred; GCS carries more weight.
Free and fast; high ROI for curriculum building.
