Instructions: In Canadian adults 65 years and older, falls are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, 20-30% of seniors experience a fall every year (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2014, p. III). You have been contracted to assist in developing a fall prevention program for adults over 65 years in the Kitchener Waterloo Region. Briefly describe the project or topic you would like to explore for your collaboration (examples include, but are not limited to, medication management, exercise, risk reduction). You must identify potential stakeholders to collaborate with you on this project. Using Gretchen Anderson's "model for understanding different types of collaborators" (Anderson, 2019, Fig 2.1), identify the potential stakeholders, their level of contribution, possible communication channels and what types of information would be necessary for that stakeholder. Be sure you are are selecting stakeholders that will help you develop or build the program rather than implementing or running a program.
You will need to identify five stakeholders in total:
- Two examples of stakeholders that would be Close Collaborators/Core Team Members
- One example each of stakeholders that would represent a Highly Interested Stakeholder, Subject Matter Expert, and Onlooker.
Using a separate paragraph for each stakeholder:
- Identify the stakeholder
- Identify what Level of Contribution they will provide during the collaboration and explain why you selected that level.
- Explain what communication channel or method would be most effective for this stakeholder (examples include, but are not limited to, reports, email, social media) and why you think this channel would be effective.
- For Highly Interested Stakeholders, Subject Matter Experts and Onlookers only describe what types of information would be shared with them in the communication.
