NCT02058329

Brief Summary

The overall goal of the project is to reduce the incidence of post hip fracture morbidity and mortality by conducting geriatric fellow periodic home visits.The assessment will be multidisciplinary and will include assessments of functional status, depression, environmental risks and medical conditions. This group will be compared against a group followed by the usual standard of care post hip fracture.

Study Arms (2)

No intervention

NO INTERVENTION

Standard of care with no home visit

Home Visit

EXPERIMENTAL

After the post hip-fracture patient is discharged to home, there will be home visits by a geriatric fellow assess overall function and response to treatment/s by depression screen, FIM scores, and environmental risk assessment

Other: Home Visit

Interventions

Home VisitOTHER

A geriatric fellow will conduct a comprehensive in hospital post discharge assessment of hip fracture patients discharged to home in the intervention group.Follow up home visits will occur at 1,3 and 6 months post discharge.Any problems will be referred to the patient's primary care physician.
