Results from Saskatchewan Study: Be Proactive Not Reactive

Posted September 27, 2021

Our provincial team of health decision-makers, patient/family advisors, clinicians and researchers first conducted an environmental scan of international and provincial practices for fall risk screening and assessment, and second gathered stories from older adults and health care providers of lived experience of fall risk screening and subsequent care across the province. We now are in the process of sharing our findings and working towards  engaging with provincial stakeholders to share knowledge, build consensus, and bring a post-pandemic “new look” to older adult health and wellness, aging in place, and fall prevention practices across the continuum of care in Saskatchewan. We have produced an infographic and video we are happy to share with anyone interested.
