    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Fractured neck of femur (hip fracture) is a prevalent injury in the elderly population.
    • Standard orthopaedic units may lack the specialized expertise to manage the complex and diverse needs of these patients.
    • Effective care coordination is crucial for optimal patient outcomes in geriatric orthopaedics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel clinical orthopaedic coordinator role.
    • To improve liaison between orthopaedic, elderly care, and community services for hip fracture patients.
    • To address the deficiencies in managing complex elderly patients with hip fractures.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduction of a dedicated clinical orthopaedic coordinator at Frenchay Hospital.

    • Main Results:

    • The clinical orthopaedic coordinator role demonstrated success in bridging service gaps.
    • Improved liaison led to better management of complex patient needs.
    • Positive impact on the care continuum for elderly hip fracture patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The clinical orthopaedic coordinator role is a valuable intervention for elderly patients with hip fractures.
    • Enhanced interdisciplinary communication and coordination improve patient care.
    • This model offers a potential solution for optimizing geriatric orthopaedic services.
