Funded Activity Summary

In Queensland falls account for the highest proportion of injury-related death and hospitalisation among older people. The project aims to provide a comprehensive picture of falls and related injuries in Queensland and assess the possibilities of linking a range of injury-related data sources in primary and acute care. It is anticipated that harmonisation of data collection practices would facilitate greater understanding of falls and inform improved prevention practices and health outcomes.
