Improving Hip Fracture Care: Learning from Data and Each Other 

LOGEX combined clinical outcome data with financial and treatment pathway data, presenting it in an open benchmarking dashboard. This level of transparency and peer comparison is rare in practice. 

Three in-person reflection sessions were held, where multidisciplinary improvement teams, including doctors, nurses, physician associates, and project leads, discussed their own data alongside that of other hospitals. Geriatric medicine specialists also joined the sessions, adding valuable perspectives. Discussions covered the importance of setting clear expectations and building mutual trust across the care pathway. 

This combination of data and open dialogue enabled critical reflection and the sharing of best practices. For example, one hospital improved osteoporosis screening rates by following up DEXA scan invitations with phone calls. Others discussed the benefits of administering zoledronic acid to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk. Some participants shared positive experiences with initiating discharge planning early in collaboration with community care partners. There was also debate around how best to approach conservative treatment options for hip fractures.
