Summary

Background and purpose: Hip fracture, a common injury occurred in people aged over 50, may result in disability, poor quality of life, and higher care stress for their families. Aging population and growing number of hip fractures have increased medical expenses, so developed countries implemented post-acute care (PAC) to reduce acute hospitalization, and to improve the quality of care. PAC services can be delivered by hospital/facility-based and home-based services. Previous studies showed that both services could significantly improve patients' activities of daily living and quality of life, and reduce readmissions, long-term care and costs. Taiwan has implemented PAC plan for hip fractures since 2017, but relevant evidences are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of PAC for patients with hip fractures.
