Summary

Older patients (i.e.; ≥ 65 years) with a hip fracture, and who are admitted to orthopedics for surgery are particularly at risk of adverse health events such as delirium, recurrent falls and prolonged hospital stay caused by their frailty status. The Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) is a comprehensive inpatient-care program that ensures optimal care for older adults in the hospital and, thus, might reduce the incidence of postoperative adverse health events. The overall objective of this study is to examine in a quantitative fashion the effects of the HELP program on adverse health events in geriatric inpatients admitted to the orthopedic ward at JGH for surgery after a hip fracture.
