Luther SL, French DD, Powell-Cope G, Rubenstein LZ, Campbell R. Using administrative data to track fall-related ambulatory care services in the Veterans Administration Healthcare system. Aging Clinical Experimental Research. 2005 Oct;17(5):412-418.
This study describes the trends (FY1997-2001) and patterns of fall-related ambulatory care encounters (FY2001) in the VA Healthcare System. In view of the aging population served by the VA and the movement to provide increased services in the outpatient setting, this database provides an important resource for researchers and administrators interested in the prevention and treatment of fall-related injuries.
