FFN-Philippines supports the HIPCARE project: Looking after patients with hip fracture in low- and middle-income countries
I. Tabu,R. Ivers,M. L. Costa
In the UK, multidisciplinary teamwork for patients with hip fracture has been shown
to reduce mortality and improves health-related quality of life for patients, while also
reducing hospital bed days and associated healthcare costs. However, despite rapidly
increasing numbers of fragility fractures, multidisciplinary shared care is rare in low- and
middle-income countries around the world. The HIPCARE trial will test the introduction
of multidisciplinary care pathways in five low- and middle-income countries in South and
Southeast Asia, with the aim to improve patients' quality of life and reduce healthcare costs.
