Did you know it’s Fall Prevention Week?

Fall Prevention Day

With the change of seasons comes a week of awareness for ARN and rehab nurses everywhere—Fall Prevention Week. Besides preparing your fall décor and stocking up on pumpkin flavored creamer, we have some great resources to refresh your fall knowledge and get into the spirit of the season!

Starting with Fall Prevention Day on September 22, we invite you to dive into the week by taking time to view our webinar, "Enhancing Capacity: Reengineering Fall and Fall Injury Programs," presented by Patricia A. Quigley, PhD APRN CRRN FAAN FAANP FARN. Worth 1.25 CE, learning objectives include

  • Discussing essential elements and guidelines for fall and injury prevention programs
  • Understanding nationally adopted interventions to reduce preventable falls and fall-related injuries
  • Identifying opportunities to enhance fall and fall with injury prevention program infrastructure, capacity and how to sustain improvements.

If you want even more fall prevention content, check out this year's REACH educational schedule. With over 60 CE available, we are bringing the learning to you—virtually! Some great fall prevention education includes

  • Benefits of Population Based Approaches to Fall Prevention presented by Amy L. Hester, PhD RN BC
