- - This study addresses the need for better fall risk assessments for older adults injured from falls in emergency departments (ED) by proposing a transmural fall-prevention care pathway (TFCP) to ensure personalized interventions.
- - Researchers used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate implementation strategies for TFCP through the RE-AIM framework, focusing on the engagement of patients and healthcare professionals in two phases.
- - Results showed improved communication and acceptance of the TFCP from phase one to phase two, highlighting the importance of strategies like local champion involvement, education, and awareness in successfully implementing the pathway.
