Defining optimal orthogeriatric hip fracture care: a delphi consensus approach
This study supports previously established recommendations for older adults with hip fractures. In addition, it offers practical recommendations for implementation of orthogeriatric care regarding both core and optimal care elements for hospitals at every different level of maturity and at every step in the care process. This may decrease the intra- and inter-hospital variability of clinical management of hip-fracture patients. Organizational and logistical elements present a barrier to overcoming the gap between the current practice and the optimal situation.
