Quality & Safety Ryde Hospital #1 in Australia for time to surgery for hip fractures
Ryde Hospital contributes to the Australian & New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry (ANZHFR) to measure and benchmark clinical performance for provision of care to patients who experience a hip fracture. The latest ANZHFR results identified Ryde Hospital as the best performer for time to surgery. Excellence in time-to-surgery protocols is a result of a multifaceted approach that prioritises timely coordinated patient centred care for excellent patient outcomes. Key features that contribute to this excellent performance in time to surgery KPI includes; o Patients presenting to ED with hip fractures are promptly assessed and prepared for surgery, often within a 24-hour window. This rapid response is crucial, as timely surgical intervention is associated with reduced mortality and improved functional recovery. o Established protocols that prioritises surgery within normal business hours for these patients, who often have significant comorbidities. This allows for safe and efficient coordination of care. o A collaborative care pathway involving emergency physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, anaesthetists, and nursing staff. Each patient's care plan is tailored to their specific needs, facilitating swift decision-making and resource allocation. This helps to minimise delays. o Consultant-led regular review and monitoring of surgical outcomes and performance, allowing for identification of improvement opportunities, ensuring that care standards remain high and that patients benefit from the latest evidence - based practices. Key stakeholders from every point of the patient’s journey are involved in reviewing data on a regular basis.
