APTA advocates for the PT Annual Visit to support public health and the economic value of health and wellness screening, especially in community-dwelling older adults related to fall safety.  This one-hour webinar will include background about the economic value of screenings and the APTA proposed model using the AFit tool.  Don will share his experience with implementing this model and adaptations for individual and community screenings.  A discussion format will focus on application to initiatives like the Stopping Addiction and Falls in the Elderly (SAFE) Act, a measure introduced in Congress that incorporates risk assessments and initial preventive physical exams under Medicare.
