Mobility vs. Safety

Fall Prevention’s Biggest Challenge

Webinar Details

Rehabilitation hospitals face a unique challenge: helping patients regain strength, confidence, and independence while also protecting them from falls. Unlike traditional acute care settings, rehabilitation programs actively encourage mobility, making it essential to strike the right balance between recovery goals and patient safety.

Join Joshua Halon, MSN, RN, EDAC and the fall prevention experts at Ocuvera as they explore how leading organizations are addressing one of the industry’s most persistent dilemmas. This educational webinar will examine the relationship between patient mobility, staffing realities, clinical workflows, and fall prevention outcomes. Attendees will gain practical insights into how rehabilitation hospitals can support patient independence without increasing fall risk or adding unnecessary burden to frontline caregivers.
