Abstract

Many emergency ambulance calls are made for older people who fall. For some, a community-based response may be more appropriate than being taken to hospital. This trial will assess the costs and benefits of paramedics using a hand-held tablet PC with computerised decision support software to help them decide which patients to convey to hospital.
