説明

'Evidence-informed' policy bridges the gap between research and practice, however incorporating evidence into policy making is complex and no longer seen to be a linear process. As falls injuries are the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and increasing hospital admissions among older people in Australia, falls injury prevention policies have become necessary. New South Wales Health has developed a Falls Policy: "Management Policy to Reduce Fall Injury Among Older People" in order to minimise injury through a policy development process that applied an evidence-informed perspective. Networks and partnerships among researchers, policy makers and practitioners were established to link research, policy and practice. The policy's impact on health care practice and on falls prevention will be assessed to evaluate its effectiveness and to inform future policy development. The development of a falls policy in New South Wales is an example of an evidence-informed policy development process that could also be applied to policy development across a broad range of health care issues, including falls prevention in the elderly, in Japan.
