Idea Status:
Hip fracutres are a common admission to both the orthopedic and IM/ FM services at San Francisco General Hospital. Good evedence exists behind the value of standard practices and pathways to ensure efficient and evidence-based care of these patients. Currently no standardized approach to hip fracture patients exists at SFGH. Using a multidisciplinary group of providers (hospitalists/ geriatricians, orthopedists, nurses, physical therapists), we aim to create a standardized hip fracture pathway at SFGH to reduce variability in clinical practice and ensure our patients are receiveing appropriate, expeditious, evidence-based care.
