Building Pathways to Safety: How Medbridge is Transforming
Fall Prevention with Digital Care

Presented by Erika del Pozo, Mike Studer, and Mariana Wingood

Description

With an aging population, 33% of community dwelling older adults falling at least once a year, and an estimated $50 Billion of medical cost of older adult falls, expanding access to proactive, preventative care is essential. These challenges are reshaping how healthcare organizations approach patient safety and care delivery.

That's why we're excited to introduce Medbridge’s Fall Prevention Pathway, designed to empower clinicians and health systems to reduce fall-related risks and improve patient outcomes.

Join us for a deep dive into the development of this innovative new program, built to address the complexities of fall prevention in diverse care settings. In this webinar, you'll hear directly from our Senior Clinical Content Manager, Erika Del Pozo, along with the two advisors of the program, Mike Studer and Mariana Wingood, who will share insights into the rationale behind the program and highlight its unique benefits. We’ll cover how Medbridge's Fall Prevention Pathway integrates evidence-based strategies to support clinicians in creating effective, patient-centered care plans, and how it can scale across different populations and settings to provide more comprehensive preventive care.

Whether you're a clinical leader, healthcare provider, or part of a fall prevention team, this webinar will provide valuable insights into how this Pathway can help you reduce falls, mitigate costs, and enhance patient outcomes.
