These guidelines were developed by the World Falls Task Force, which assembled 96 multidisciplinary experts from 39 countries across 5 continents, with representation from 36 scientific and academic societies, including the AGS. The Guidelines provide a framework and expert recommendations on how to identify and assess the risk of falls and recommend which interventions should be offered, alone or in combination, as part of a person-centered approach to preventing and managing falls. Learning Objectives: (1) review the guideline development process and new recommendations; (2) interpret how to relate the Guidelines to clinical use in the US; and (3) identify limitations and areas needing future research.
