Implementing an advanced physiotherapy outpatient triaging service as a model for improvement for patients recently discharged following surgical intervention for hip fracture
Every year there are 1.3 million hip fractures globally; this is expected to rise to 6 million by 2050. Estimates of global cost is 1.75 million disability adjusted life years, and in established market economies, costs associated with hip fracture represent 1.4% of the total healthcare burden. New...

description | Every year there are 1.3 million hip fractures globally; this is expected to rise to 6 million by 2050. Estimates of global cost is 1.75 million disability adjusted life years, and in established market economies, costs associated with hip fracture represent 1.4% of the total healthcare burden. New models of care will be required to meet this demand. Advance physiotherapy roles in elective arthroplasty across global settings have demonstrated benefit in safely reducing time burden on surgical teams and healthcare costs. The utility of similar roles in the care of hip fracture is unclear. This quality initiative (2020–2023) aimed to implement and evaluate a new model of care substituting a surgical registrar with an advanced physiotherapist in a post-discharge hip fracture clinic. Across many nonlinear, action/reflection cycles, a multi-disciplinary team engaged to operationalize key implementation strategies, mapped to the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) project. Across the reporting period, 346 patients were seen by an advanced physiotherapist. Eighty-one patients seen by an advanced physiotherapist required informal discussion with the consultant surgeon. Fifteen patients required a formal consultant review. There were no patient complaints, critical incidents or other unintended consequences. The net surgical time realized over the three years was 110 hours. |
