Primary care clinic or health system level

Question

Reducing falls among older adults at the primary care clinic or health system level requires commitment-by providers, staff, quality teams, and leadership. Systematic changes need to be made to organizational culture to screen older adults, conduct additional assessments to identify fall risk factors, and intervene to reduce fall risk. A fall prevention initiative will not succeed if the practice or institution is not ready to commit to reducing falls.
