Hip fracture is a common injury in older adults that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Older adults who sustain a hip fracture are at a higher risk of institutionalisation, reduced mobility and subsequent falls and, consequently, have increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Quality improvement strategies that address gaps in hip fracture care are needed to ensure best practice and improve health outcomes for older adults.
髋部骨折是老年人中常见的损伤，可导致严重的发病率和死亡率。老年人髋部骨折后更易发生住院治疗、活动能力下降以及随后的跌倒，从而导致发病率和死亡率增加。需要采取质量改进策略来解决髋部骨折护理中的差距，以确保最佳实践并改善老年人的健康结果。
