| Abstract | Background Although indicated, referrals for multifactorial fall risk assessments in older adults with fall related injuries presenting at the emergency department (ED) are not standard. The implementation of a transmural fall-prevention care pathway (TFCP) could bridge this gap by guiding patients to multifactorial fall risk assessments and personalised multidomain interventions in primary care. This study aims to develop and evaluate implementation strategies for a TFCP. Methods In this mixed-methods implementation study, strategies were developed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change Matching Tool. These were evaluated with patients, involved healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders using the Reach, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance of the RE-AIM framework in two cycles. Patients of the TFCP consisted of frail community dwelling individuals aged 65 and over presenting at the ED with fall related injuries. Results During the first implementation phase, strategies were focussed on assessing readiness, adaptability, local champions, incentives and education for all involved healthcare professions in the TFCP. Only 34.4% of eligible patients were informed of the TFCP at the ED, 30.6% agreed to a fall risk assessment and 8.3% patients received the fall risk assessment. In the second phase, this improved to 67.1%, 64.6%, and 35.4%, respectively. Strategies in this phase focussed on adaptability, obtaining sustainable financial resources, local champions, assessing readiness, and education. The implementation was facilitated by strategies related to awareness, champion recruitment, educational meetings, adaptability of TFCP elements and evaluations of facilitators and barriers. Conclusion The study outlined strategies for implementing TFCPs in EDs. Strategies included increasing awareness, utilising local champions, educational initiatives, adaptability of the TFCP, and continuous monitoring of facilitators and barriers. These insights can serve as a blueprint for enhancing fall prevention efforts for older adults in emergency department settings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
