摘要：Aim: To retrospectively evaluate the NSW Management Policy to Reduce Fall Injury Among Older People, 2003–2007. Methods: The process evaluation was conducted by interviewing stakeholders regarding the implementation of the Policy. A document review was also undertaken to identify activities and initiatives undertaken during the implementation process. Results: Key achievements in the implementation of the Policy and significant early events, decisions and contextual factors which acted as barriers to the implementation were identified. Results included the: identification of the need for the prioritisation of evidence-based interventions; application of consistent best practice guidelines for implementing falls prevention strategies in the community; and development of an evaluation and monitoring framework concurrent with the development of policy. Conclusion: Subsequent policy initiatives must be strategically focused and coordinated if future activities are to have a significant impact on the increasing burden of fall-related injury.
