Partners: Bury Integrated Delivery Collaborative, Safe Steps

In collaboration with the Bury Integrated Delivery Collaborative, primary care, care homes, the local authority, and SafeSteps, a digital initiative, aimed at improving early intervention for deterioration and falls prevention in Bury care homes, was launched in 2023. The successful deployment of a digital deterioration tracker (RESTORE2 and RESTORE2 Mini) alongside a multifactorial falls prevention tool resulted in a 20% reduction in ambulance callouts across 37 care homes in Greater Manchester in January and March 2024 compared with the same period in 2023.
