Fractures: Bone Repair

3.3K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new minor trauma care pathway in the Netherlands reduced hospital visits and costs by €303.40 per patient. This pathway, diverting patients from the emergency department (ED) to a traumatology outpatient clinic (OC), also decreased initial hospital visit durations.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma care
  • Healthcare management
  • Health economics

Background:

  • General practitioners (GPs) in the Netherlands refer patients with radiologically diagnosed fractures to the emergency department (ED).
  • A new care pathway was implemented at Máxima Medical Centre in 2020, redirecting minor trauma patients from the ED to a traumatology outpatient clinic (OC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of the new care pathway on healthcare consumption and costs for minor trauma patients.
  • To compare healthcare utilization and expenses between the new pathway and the traditional ED referral route.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study comparing patients from August-October 2019 (control) and August-October 2020 (research group).
  • Inclusion criteria: fracture diagnosed by a radiologist on GP-requested radiograph during weekdays, 8:30 am - 4:00 pm.
  • Outcomes measured: initial hospital visit duration, hospital visit frequency, medical procedures, imaging extent, and healthcare costs.

Main Results:

  • A total of 634 patients were included in the study.
  • The research group (new pathway) experienced a median reduction of 25 minutes in initial hospital visit duration.
  • The new pathway led to one fewer hospital visit per patient, fewer medical procedures, and a cost reduction of €303.40 per patient, with no change in imaging volume.

Conclusions:

  • The new care pathway significantly reduces healthcare utilization and associated costs for minor trauma patients.
  • Implementing direct referral to a traumatology outpatient clinic (OC) for minor trauma patients offers advantages, including preventing emergency department (ED) overcrowding.
  • Direct referral to the traumatology OC is recommended for all minor trauma patients.
