EDUCATION ON FALL RISK MANAGEMENT 2 There are so many barriers, as well as challenges that affect the services and practices being reinforced to reduce and manage risk, falls in health institutions as well as a rehabilitation center. Some of the challenges include insufficient knowledge and skills, lack of coordination, time constraints as well as competing demands and financial concerns (Van, 2018). However, there are so many opportunities that need to be exploited to ensure effective management of fallrelated health conditions. The management of fall risk just like any other health condition requires behavioral interventions and also intricate decision making (Arena, McGehee, & Kohler, 2017). Traditional education, practice patterns, and even the professional approach do not offer sufficient care to elderly health conditions. This is because the service providers have a deficiency of necessary knowledge, experience and also skills required to take care of the elderly health problems. The knowledge and expertise needed to provide stability and manage falls are still very new in the clinical encounters (Arena et al., 2017). Therefore, there is a need for more research to be done on the management of fall risk. The health providers may be willing to manage the fall risk, but division among the workers may be a hindrance to provision of an adequate care to the patients. Coordination among the workers with similar skills such as physical therapist, physicians, occupational therapist and home care nurses is required. Inadequate skills among the groups intensify the difficulty of treatment. For instance, the home-based nurses may not identify the need for some individuals being taken to rehabilitation centers when the medical providers do not prescribe the services (Arena et al., 2017). Therefore there is a need to coordinate the health care settings and also the non-health for effective delivery of services. EDUCATION ON FALL RISK MANAGEMENT 3 The time allocated to perform the recommended preventive measures is unreasonable (Van, 2018). In hospitals, the significant challenges associated with heart failure is that it usually assume priority over all other preventive issues. The interventions are undertaken in managing and checking the patients’ blood pressure, medication history and adjustment consumes a lot of time. Fall risk management does not provide a quality assurance wit or inspire any attention to specific diseases even when the time is limited, and demands are high within the health centers. According to Van (2018), inadequacy reimbursement for the fall-related conditions remains a significant challenge within the clinical setups. There is confusion whether the medical cover ensures both treatment and preventive services or there should be extra charges for the fall preventive services. Therefore, to provide a practical solution to related financial constraints, the fall services must be indicated in the Medicare statute by following the right channel of legislation. Only then can fall-related conditions be treated like other illnesses within the clinical setup. References EDUCATION ON FALL RISK MANAGEMENT Arena, L., McGehee, W., & Kohler, K. (2017).
