Falls prevention for people with dementia domicile in residential aged care facilities: Strategies to facilitate the translation of evidence into practiceBackground: In Australia the large majority of residents of nursing homes (NHs) have dementia. Developing an evidence based approach to care provision...

The cost of falls to the NHS is estimated to be £2.3 billion each year, but a previous small-scale study conducted by the University of York, suggests that falls could be reduced by 12% or more if home assessment strategies played a core part of care packages for the elderly. The Yo...

methodological flaws. Our new 'STRATIFY-Falls' tool can predict which patients are most at risk of falling in the next one to ten years. This could allow GPs to provide more personalized care and target falls prevention strategies for patients, such as exercise-based interventions or drug ...
prevention. A recent audit of UK inpatient NHS settings that included mental health settings [57] found that 35% of nurses and 61% of doctors had not received training in fall prevention in the past year thus highlighting that work is needed in order to meet NICE recommendations....
Hospital falls remain a frequent and debilitating problem worldwide. Most hospital falls prevention strategies have targeted clinician education, environmental modifications, assistive devices, hospital systems and medication reviews. The role that patie
RESULTS: Themes included (i) difficulties and opportunities associated with multidisciplinary care; (ii) potential for CDM items to be used to support falls prevention strategies; and (iii) the user-friendliness of the CDM items. CONCLUSION: Effective coordination of multidisciplinary care between GPs...
The present study is the first to model the cost effectiveness of an intervention for the prevention of falls in hospitals using both cost and effect data collected from a randomized controlled trial. This study also sought to measure the economic burden of an in-hospital fall and the cost of...
A key strength of decision modelling is its capacity to evaluate all scenarios and strategies of interest. Further falls prevention strategies that are potential alternatives to RC will be evaluated in future work. This manuscript reported on the outcomes of several scenarios that potentially affect th...
