Presentation
30. A Systems Engineering Approach to Understanding the Care Path of Hip Fracture Patients
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionHip fractures are the second most common cause for hospitalization in geriatric patients who account for more than one third of hospitalizations in the United States (Russo & Elixhauser, 2006; Leigheb, 2012; Patel et al., 2013). Geriatric patients are typically a high risk patient population and it has been shown that they have a 6.2% inpatient mortality rate and a 21% all-cause mortality rate within one year of surgery (Downey et al., 2019; Patel et al., 2013).
Hip fracture patients typically initially present their symptoms in an emergency department (ED). Thus, it is important to provide quality and timely care to hip fracture patients in an ED due to patient population being high risk (e.g., geriatric). Therefore, when a hip fracture patients first presents to an ED, there should be consistent care path that the patient follows throughout their visit to ensure that they receive high quality and timely care.
