Flagship section
Fall Prevention
The flagship section, built directly on the CDC STEADI screen-assess-intervene model. Contains the fall risk screening quiz, the post-fall decision tree for active crisis situations (conscious/responsive checks, when to call 911 vs. urgent care, what to watch for in the following 72 hours), risk-factor explainers (medication side effects, vision, balance), and numbered warning-sign guides. This is the only group that owns crisis-path content; modification and mobility groups link back here rather than duplicating triage guidance.
