| Abstract | Every year more than a quarter of a million people over the age of 65 are admitted to a hospital with a hip fracture. Mortality and readmission rates are higher for this patient population, increasing the risk of unfavorable outcomes and increased costs. This white paper details the care and contribution margin improvement opportunities for a hospital that performs approximately 300 hip fracture repair/partial hip replacement cases annually. Data analysis, on-site observation and interviews were conducted to uncover opportunities to improve care and expand market share for these procedures. Emphasis was on the admission, perioperative and acute stay care processes and metrics. While the perioperative metrics were good overall, opportunities were identified to improve on-time starts and scheduling. In addition, the percentage of patients that had surgery within one day of admission or less was below the 50th percentile when compared to the Accelero OrthoVal database. |
