Presenters Stephanie Wierzbicka Manager, Strategic Health Programs, ComForCare Franchise Systems, LLC Tiffany E. Shubert PhD, PT Senior Product Manager for Therapy, Relias Webinar Fall Risk Management—Zones of Opportunity About This Webinar Due to COVID-19, homebound seniors (65 and older) could experience more falls due to less physical activity as most continue to shelter in place. As a result, health care professionals might experience an increase in patient admission due to more non-fatal falls than previously experienced. Falls can have long-term, life altering effects, which can be addressed in the hospital setting using validated screening tools and patient empowerment techniques for improved outcomes. Using these techniques can result in less falls and a safer community. In this webinar, world renowned fall expert, Tiffany Shubert, Ph.D./PT, Senior Product Manager of Therapy for Relias, presents the science behind falls and interventions that you can implement into your profession while Stephanie Wierzbicka, Manager, Strategic Health Care Programs, for in-home care provider ComForCare Franchise Systems, LLC, will presents the role of the provider and the impact of this approach in the home environment.
