CATCH RURAL Falls

Coordinated Action Toward Community Health: RedUce Risk And Limit Falls

The Coordinated Action Toward Community Health: RedUce Risk And Limit – “CATCH RURAL” – Falls Program was previously offered as a quality improvement program to provide education and resources to promote fall risk management in Nebraska Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and improve care for older adults in rural communities. This program supported the adoption and implementation of the Centers for Disease Control's Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injury (STEADI) initiative core components of fall risk screening, assessment, and intervention.

The CATCH Rural Falls Program formally concluded in August 2026, but this online fall risk management toolkit remains freely available online for RHCs to access to support their efforts to improve fall risk management practices. Use the tabs on the right menu to explore multiple educational videos and tools on fall risk management related topics, including resources to support quality improvement activities to improve fall risk management practices to support your older adult patient population.
