Geriatric Orthopedic Hip-Fracture Co-Management Implementation

Grant Summary

A grant to the American Geriatrics Society will disseminate a geriatrics-orthopedic co-management intervention that improves the experience and outcomes of care for hip-fracture patients while reducing costs. The project builds on a recent planning grant which demonstrated a clear need and a viable market for adoption of a co-management model, and which also developed a business plan to disseminate the model to academic and community hospitals and health systems nationwide.
