So Carmen and Katie developed an EMS Community Partnership program. They created a seamless link between this Community Partnership program and 911 calls for falls. Eric and I enjoyed talking with Carmen and Katie about this innovative and common sense approach to addressing falls in the community. What can we do as a community?

I also heard that if you look at all individuals in the US, about 4% of individuals are taking one of the gabapentinoids, 10% over 65. So the patient gets gabapentin prescribed from their surgeon, they see their PCP, they have a list of medications, and they all get renewed, get represcribed. Tasce: Lots of reasons.

So that would be palatable to the community that I could look at, whether we were over-screening those 80 and older. I talk to women 75 and older or something like it’s my job as your PCP to recommend tests that I think will lead to more good than to harm. And so we recruited 546 women and they were from 137 different PCPs.
