Evaluation of an emergency department falls pathway for older people: A patient chart review.

Unlabelled: The number of older adults presenting to EDs following a fall continues to rise, yet falls management often ignores opportunities for secondary falls risk reduction. Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) in EDs have an important clinical leadership role in improving outcomes for this group of patients.

Aim: This study describes the development of an ANP led falls pathway in an ED to improve safe discharge.
