Description:Help on this term

Proportion of patients with a hip fracture living in a private residence prior to their hip fracture returning to private residence within 120 days of admission to hospital.

Rationale:Help on this term

A range of interventions has been shown to improve outcomes for hip fracture patients. These include medication review, secondary fracture prevention, treatment/management of co-morbidities, addressing mental health/cognitive needs (prevention/management of delirium in particular), environmental modifications, and linkage into cultural services, primary care, community support services and carer support services (ACSQHC 2009).

Effective discharge planning and an individualised care plan can maximise a patient’s prospects of returning to their private residence.

Collection and usage attributes

Computation description:Help on this term

The numerator includes patients with a hip fracture living in a private residence prior to the hip fracture who also resided in a private residence 120 days after admission to hospital.  Private residence includes a private home, community group home, boarding house and a unit in a retirement village. It excludes residential aged care facilities/rest homes, rehabilitation units (short term or other) and any other institutions.

The 120 days from admission to hospital should be calculated from Episode of admitted patient care—admission date, DDMMYYYY  from the hip fracture episode of care.

Both the numerator and the denominator only include patients with hip fracture who were followed up at 120 days. Exclude patients who:

  • Were reported at admission as not residing within a private residence or their place of residence was not recorded or recorded as ‘Not known’.
  • Died during the hip fracture episode (i.e. where Episode of admitted patient care—separation mode, code N = 8 Died) or were deceased at the 120-day follow-up.
