SUMMARY:Steady Steps Forward: Systems Thinking Approach in Fall Prevention for Older Australians
DESCRIPTION:This upcoming webinar will cover the critical issue of falls prevention among older Australians\, discussing both individual and systemic impacts. Falls significantly affect older adults and burden the healthcare system\, exceeding $2.3 billion annually. \nThe presenters\, Dr. Nathalia Costa\, Professor Kim Delbaere\, and Dr. Meghan Ambrens\, co-authors of the paper “A systems approach to assist policy action to prevent falls among community-dwelling older people in Australia\,” will present their findings from a thorough policy review\, highlighting gaps and identifying potential pathways for improvement. They use a systems-thinking approach to understand the complex factors contributing to falls\, and suggest actionable solutions for policy enhancement. Their research employs the Prevention Systems Change Framework (PSCF) to analyse the existing falls-prevention policies at the national and state levels. \nThe discussion will focus on essential questions regarding the current landscape of falls prevention policies\, needed changes\, and implementation strategies to improve outcomes. This session is aimed at healthcare professionals\, policymakers\, and researchers interested in public health and systemic change in falls prevention. \nThe webinar will be followed by a Community Falls Network meeting ending at 1.30 pm. The Injury Matters Community Falls Network aims to bring together health and community professionals to discuss key issues and share solutions in community falls prevention in WA. The Network meets quarterly via videoconference and in person. For more information or to join the Network\, contact Injury Matters Program Delivery Lead\, Suzanne Butler via 6166 7688 or sbutler@injurymatters.org.au. \nRegister here
