Description: 
This webinar will examine how trauma evidence is translated into clinical practice across the Military Health System, with a focus on the role of the Joint Trauma System in developing, implementing, and sustaining Clinical Practice Guidelines. The session will highlight enterprise approaches to damage control resuscitation, performance improvement processes, and feedback mechanisms that drive system-wide change.

In addition, the webinar will feature individual tri-service CRNA consultant updates from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, each providing a 20-minute service-specific perspective on current priorities, challenges, and initiatives impacting readiness, clinical practice, and force development. These updates will emphasize workforce considerations, training and readiness alignment, and integration across operational and clinical environments.

Attendees will gain insight into how system-level efforts and service-level execution align across the MHS, as well as opportunities for CRNAs to engage in research, quality improvement, and collaboration through TSNRP and ARIG initiatives.

Learning Objectives:
Describe how trauma evidence is translated into clinical practice across the Military Health System.
Identify strategies used by the Joint Trauma System to implement and sustain Clinical Practice Guidelines.
Discuss service-specific priorities, challenges, and initiatives impacting CRNA readiness, clinical practice, and force development across the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Identify opportunities for CRNAs to engage in research, quality improvement, and collaboration within the MHS.

Target Audience: Military & federal anesthetists and other clinicians; nurse scientists & researchers; trauma and operational medicine professionals; graduate health education trainees

Description: Falls happen. Despite our best efforts, no intervention can eliminate the risk of falling entirely, especially for older adults. In recognition of Falls Prevention Awareness Month, we're challenging the conversation around falls and asking a more urgent question: when a fall does happen, how do we make sure your or your loved one are protected?
Hip fractures are among the most life-altering injuries an older adult can sustain, often leading to permanent loss of independence, long-term care needs, and a significantly diminished quality of life. 
This webinar focuses on two pillars of a modern fall injury mitigation strategy: safer mobility and hip fracture protection. We’ll explore confident, safer movement in at-risk older adults and introduce the Tango Belt, an FDA-approved, clinically proven medical device purpose-built for hip fracture mitigation. When the Tango Belt senses a serious fall in progress, it deploys an airbag around the hips in milliseconds, neutralizing the ground force impact that causes hip fractures before injury can occur.

What We'll Cover:
• Why fall prevention alone is not enough to protect older adults
• The real-world consequences of hip fractures on independence and long-term care
• Safer mobility strategies clinicians can implement with at-risk patients
• The case for fall injury mitigation as a primary clinical strategy
• How the Tango Belt works and which older adults stand to benefit most
• Steps caregivers, clinicians, and families can take to shift their approach today

Target Audience: Older adults at risk of falls, clinicians and care staff who participate in their care, children/family members of the older adults

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand why fall prevention strategies alone are not enough to protect at risk older adults
2. Learn safer mobility strategies clinicians can implement with at-risk patients
3. Learn about the shift in mindset from fall prevention to fall injury mitigation as a primary clinical strategy
