The findings suggest that middle management plays a critical role in facilitating change, and that integration across digital and organizational systems is essential for effective falls prevention. The Swedish experience serves as a model for other health systems, advocating for sustained engagement and leadership at all levels to ensure the WFG translates into routine care. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
