Difference in discharge disposition, adherence to clinical care standards and functional outcomes of older hip fracture patients receiving an orthogeriatric model of care versus routine care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hip fractures are a common injury among older adults, leading to higher morbidity and mortality. Effective treatment pathways are needed.
