Abstract

Several factors impede the implementation of effective strategies for fall and fracture prevention. The Centre of Expertise for Fall & Fracture prevention Flanders organized a symposium, "Implementation of fall en fracture prevention in older people", with the aim to elaborate on the facilitation of effective strategies for falls and fall-related injuries in community-dwelling older people in Flanders. This article summarizes the main bottlenecks for implementation and provides recommendations for optimizing dissemination and implementation.
