Fall prevention indicator priorities for public health and across health sectors in Ontario: a comparative study
This work identified, refined and prioritized indicators for older adult fall prevention across health sectors and for public health in Ontario. While both groups shared some highly ranked indicators, their differing responsibilities in fall prevention are reflected in the contents and order of their respective priorities for indicators. Delineating the unique data needs of each group highlights the importance of having consistent and actionable data that informs prevention planning and evaluation.
