Summary

This study looks at whether a computer program that automatically checks older adults (65+) in the emergency room for fall risk can help prevent future falls. The tool alerts doctors and lets them refer high-risk patients to a special falls clinic. Researchers will compare medical records and Medicare claims from before and after the tool was put in place at three hospitals. About 30,000 patients will be included.
