Integrated provincial falls prevention framework & toolkit : Projet provincial d'intégration des initiatives de prévention des chutes : cadre stratégique et boîte à outils

"The main objective ... is to 'improve the quality of life for Ontario seniors aged 65 years and over and lessen the burden of falls on the health care system by reducing the number and impact of falls'. With the increase in the population demographic that is 65 years of age and older, it is important that quality of life outcomes are achieved. Preventing falls as well as lessening the impact of falls would contribute to ensuring seniors lead healthy lives independently. In addition, preventing falls can result in significant savings for the health care system"--P. 5.
