Beginning in December 2007, all long-term care facilities in Canada have an opportunity to enroll in a Breakthrough Series Collaborative as part of their quality improvement efforts to reduce falls and injury from falls for residents in their long-term care facility. Each enrolled LTC facility will work in the Collaborative over the next year to implement evidence-based change interventions using Improvement Teams of 5-7 staff members.
