Health care services and costs after hip fracture, comparing conventional vs standardized care: A retrospective study with 12-month follow-up
Injury Feb 01, 2021
Haugan K, Halsteinli V, Dohl O, et al. - This study was sought to correlate costs related to standardized vs conventional hospital care for older patients after fragility hip fracture and ascertain if a shift in hospital care led to cost-shifts between specialists and primary health care. Volumes of care and accompanying costs from fracture time until 12 months after hospital discharge for 979 patients were retrospectively collected and calculated. The results highlighted that for patients with hip fracture, implementation of standardized care to improve outcomes caused lower specialist care costs and higher primary care costs, demonstrating care- and cost-shifts from specialist to primary health care.
