EMS Intervention to Reduce Falls: Carmen Quatman and Katie Quatman-Yates

GeriPal

So what we found is up to 30% of people would call 911 again for a fall, and of those calls, some people became very high-utilizers and so they would call 911 over and over again. I think once someone becomes kind of a high-utilizer, it’s a slippery slope. Is there any feedback in any of these to the PCP? Carmen: Yeah.
