Clinic software modestly reduced recorded falls in older adults

Rates of patients with recorded falls were 19.3 versus 21.2 per 100 patient-years in intervention and control practices, respectively, over 12–23 months.Rates of patients with recorded falls were 19.3 versus 21.2 per 100 patient-years in intervention and control practices, respectively, over 12–23 months.

Randomised trial in 11,945 older adults with positive fall-risk screens, against control practicesInterventions

Limit: Diagnostic codes can miss falls that never enter health records
