Integrated care

The falls and fractures outcomes framework was developed to support quality improvement across the health system to reduce harm from falls. It defines and measures processes and outcomes that matter to older people. It helps health sector partners to focus on areas for innovation and improvement, and evaluate the impact of related interventions.

Available places in approved classes	This is a measure of the total number of places offered to people in community group strength and balance classes. ACC-approved community strength and balance classes can help to prevent falls and reduce fall-related harm. This measure identifies whether there are sufficient opportunities for older people to participate in classes. The goal is to maintain enough class places across the country for the at-risk population to access and lower their falls risk.
