The purpose of this study was to describe how urban and rural primary care staff and older adults manage fall risk and factors relevant to the application of computerized clinical decision support (CCDS). METHODS: Interviews, contextual inquiries, and workflow observations were analyzed. The study found that participants valued fall prevention and described similar approaches. Variations in available resources existed between rural and urban locations. Participants wanted evidence-based guidance incorporated into workflows to bridge gaps in skills.
