Number of patients with evidence of local arrangements for the development of an individualised care plan for hip fracture patients prior to the patient's separation from hospital.

Yes/No: Documented local arrangements for patients with a hip fracture to have an individualised care plan developed prior to the patient's separation from hospital, and provisions to make this available to them (and/or their carer), and to their general practitioner and other ongoing clinical care provider within 48 hours of the patient leaving hospital. The care plan should describe the care received by the patient during their hospital stay and ongoing care and goals of care. The plan must include a summary of any changes to medicines, any new medicines, and equipment and contact details for rehabilitation services they may require. It should also describe mobilisation activities, wound care and function post surgery, and include information and recommendations for secondary fracture prevention.
