STEADI Case Study
• Examined three organizations that used EMS to
provide falls prevention interventions for a minimum
of 1 year – a small township, a county, and a state
• Why is STEADI a good intervention for working with
EMS?
• How can STEADI be integrated into existing EMS
protocols?

Lessons Learned
• Start slowly
• It is necessary to identify a champion within EMS
• Coalition building is helpful for developing referral
relationships across providers
• Support of the intervention is dependent on active
participation from ALL individuals involved
