RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Interdisciplinary management of hip fracture JF Clinical Medicine JO Clin Med FD Royal College of Physicians SP 541 OP 544 DO 10.7861/clinmedicine.16-6-541 VO 16 IS 6 A1 Cameron Swift A1 Saoussen Ftouh A1 Patrick Langford A1 Timothy S Chesser A1 Antony Johanssen YR 2016 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/16/6/541.abstract AB Hip fracture is a prevalent age-associated occurrence incorporating both medical and surgical need and a major challenge to public health and NHS resources. Effective management requires coordinated collaboration across specialties, professions and services. This concise guideline focuses on interdisciplinary aspects of hip fracture management abstracted from National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline (CG124), including the concept and implementation of the Hip Fracture Programme, detection and management of comorbidity and delirium, optimal analgesia, timing of surgery, multidisciplinary mobilisation, rehabilitation and hospital discharge. The recently updated National Hip Fracture Database report and NICE quality standard are potential drivers for progress.
