Description
There is a balanced approach to fall prevention.
Falls are the leading cause of injury death and the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma among older adults. Although prevalent, providers often discover balance deterioration in its aftermath, learning to recognize and treat balance disorders from piecemeal lessons learned the hard way. The rapidly expanding healthcare needs of America’s booming geriatric population, combined with strict reporting requirements for Medicare reimbursement effected in 2013, demand that healthcare professionals learn to assess functional measures correctly and prevent falls before they happen.
Balance examination and rehabilitation techniques can be learned with hands-on practice. Explore the epidemiology of falls and review current evidence that indicates the effectiveness of the interventions presented, with recommendations for designing programs to achieve functional outcomes for balance rehabilitation. As you expand your practice with an aging population that relies heavily on Medicare, you should review basic G-codes to use for maximum reimbursement. Balance assessment and rehabilitation strategies can be put into practice immediately for measurable objective results, while protecting your bottom line.
