Co-producing a Novel Model an Outcome Framework for the Implementation of Falls Management in Care Home Settings.

Component One: Co-production of the implementation model and outcomes framework A series of co-production workshops will be undertaken using a systemic action research methodology to develop and explore the feasibility of a novel implementation model and outcomes framework. This will involve three small workshop groups consisting of residents and relatives, care home staff only, and representatives from ICS partner organisations. All participants will be invited to attend a multi-stakeholder workshop in the later stages of the process to share ideas. Data collected for component one will be collected by the PI and PhD student. The novel model will be co-produced as part of this project but may include activities such as a care home audit programme, a reporting process, training and education and a community of practice. Following co-production of the model it will be delivered across Nottinghamshire ICB and refined in line with the systemic action research process.

Component Two: Evaluating the co-production process A process evaluation will be undertaken to explore how and the extent to which co-production occurs in component one, including reflection on challenges and facilitators, and how resident involvement is supported. Data collected for component two will be collected by the PhD student.
