Managers’ perspectives on their role in implementing fall prevention interventions: a qualitative interview study in Norwegian homecare services
Managers at all levels play an important role in the implementation of fall prevention, but there is a need to define and align their specific roles in the process. Understanding how to use existing systems and influence through positive leadership behavior seem to be vital for success. Recognizing the demanding nature of implementation, managers emphasized the importance of systems for long term support. The study findings may influence how managers in clinical practice engage in the implementation process and inform future researchers about managers' roles in implementation in homecare services.
