The focus of Rune’s PhD project is on the implementation of evidence-based recommendations for fall prevention among primary care clinicians in Norway. He is investigating the extent to which Clinical Decision Support use can help primary care clinicians adhere to evidence-based recommendations for fall prevention, and what the factors of effective CDS are. Subsequently, he will conduct a feasibility study to assess the acceptability and feasibility of a proposed intervention aiming to implement evidence-based fall prevention recommendations in two city districts in Oslo.
