	Description:		Fall risk assessment is built into XLHealth's health risk assessments for the elderly, explained Laurie Russell, its senior director of health solutions. Members' caregivers and pharmacists also play key roles in XLHealth's fall prevention efforts. More than a year into CMS' Medicare Health Support Program, Russell detailed how her organization's "Ask Your Doctor" report empowers members with the language to address medical conditions during a doctor visit.
