An acute multidisciplinary treatment strategy for patients with a hip fracture

Background The “Reference Program for Patients with Hip fractures” from 2008 recommends a multidisciplinary treatment strategy in patients with hip fractures in terms of follow-up treatment and rehabilitation, but there is no focus on acute treatment of this patient group in the Danish reference program. The project aims to investigate whether it is possible to implement an acute multidisciplinary treatment strategy that can help reduce the mortality rate among patients with a hip fracture in an emergency department.
