Input required to support fall prevention in LTC - Due March 18, 2022

Posted March 2, 2022

The public review of Health Standard Association (HSO)’s new Long-Term Care Services standard is taking place between January 27th and March 27th, 2022.


This is an opportunity for the fall prevention community of practice to review and comment on the draft standard before it is published. This can provide us the opportunity to make recommendations on falls indicators, screening and assessment, etc.  We will review all the input provided in this discussion and summarize it into recommendations for the HSO.  We will also include all of the contributors in our response. 


The document can be accessed here:

Specifically, standards 6.1.12 and 7.1.10 in the LTC standards refer to falls.


Please provide your comments or suggestions prior to March 18, 2022.
