Testing the SNOWDROP Intervention: Using a Clinical Decision Support System and Patient Portal for Falls Prevention Among Older Patients in Primary Care

A Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that calculates older patients' personalized fall risk and provides the GP with advice on how to adjust the patient's medication in order to lower the fall risk.

A patient portal that provides general information on falls and fall risk to the older patients and helps the patient to prepare for the consultation by filling out a Question Prompt List (QPL). The QPL is a list of possibly relevant questions and topics from which the patient can select those that are important to him/her. These will already be sent to the GP before the consultation takes place.
