Description

The purpose of the ANZHFR is to use data to improve care and maximise outcomes for older people who have broken their hip. Public and private hospitals providing definitive treatment to people with a hip fracture are eligible to participate in the ANZHFR. People aged 50 years and over admitted to a participating Australian or New Zealand hospital are eligible for inclusion in the Registry.

The ANZHFR evaluates hospital care against the ACSQHC Hip Fracture Care Clinical Care Standard to identify variation in key aspects of care and clinical outcomes. The Registry feeds the evaluation back to the health system, and the clinicians who work in the system, to inform clinical practice and decision making. The aim of the Registry is to improve the quality and safety of hip fracture with the objective of maximising a person’s survival and functional independence after hip fracture. The ANZHFR measures and reports against the quality statements and their indicators.

Reporting process

ANZHFR incorporates feedback via a real-time data dashboard and audit reports, which allows the data held by the Registry to be translated into meaningful reporting for clinicians, executive and local quality and safety staff. Meaningful reports can be generated onsite by registry users removing the need to request reports from the central Registry.

The ANZHFR generates participating-site annual report and an Australian State and Territory report. These are publicly available via the website and shared with clinicians, hospital executive, state/territory/national health departments and authorities, as well as consumer and clinician stakeholder groups, on release. Individual hospitals opt-in to identified reporting and in 2020, 95% of hospitals have opted-in.
