This section provides a comprehensive model for falls prevention along the health and wellbeing continuum, background notes providing an explanation of the model and two case studies of the model in practice.
The health continuum model reflects the movement of an older person through the health continuum across the three different settings of community, hospital and residential aged care. Where the person is located along the continuum depends on their health status and falls risk. The model lists health professionals involved at each stage and the best evidence based interventions for each situation.
Read case studies about two Queensland Health projects to reduce falls across the continuum of care.
