Output

Stage one

The first workshop

(N = 3)

To understand the service procedure and identify the opportunities for service integration

One workshop for one study site

The number of participants in each workshop of each study site was 11

1. Introduction

2. Drawing the procedure of the health management service

3. Identifying opportunities for integrating falls prevention in the service

4. Critically reviewing and discussing all results

5. Reaching a consensus

• The procedure of health management service provided to older people

• The opportunities for the integration of falls prevention in the service

• Suggestions on the opportunities for integration

The second workshop

(N = 3)

To optimise the integration of falls prevention within the local PHC system

1. Reflecting on the suggestions about integration

2. Grouping suggestions to codes and then to themes

3. Developing a prototype of the implementation framework

4. Reaching a consensus

• Themes for integrating falls prevention

• A prototype of the implementation framework

• Suggestions on the opportunities for integration within the region-tailored prototype

Stage two

The first workshop

(N = 1)

To refine participants’ understanding of how to strengthen the integration beyond the local PHC system

One workshop for three study sites

The number of participants in each workshop was 33

1. Presenting and discussing findings from stage one

2. Introducing a conceptual framework from the previous study

3. Prioritising, merging and redesigning the themes across three study sites

4. Reaching a consensus

• Agreed opportunities for integration in the service

• A generic implementation framework

• Suggestions on the opportunities for integration within the generic framework

The second workshop

(N = 1)

To develop strategies for each theme in the generic implementation framework

1.Reviewing the generic framework

2. Developing and refining strategies for each theme

3. Reaching a consensus

• The implementation strategies for each theme in the generic framework
