Objectives Benefits
Last year, in Ireland, 3,608 patients aged 60 years or over were hospitalised following a hip fracture. The IHFD collected data on 3,497 cases from all sixteen acute hospitals which accounted for 95% of all hip fracture cases nationally.
2017 Report 2016 ReportAs the public / patient interest representative (PPI) on the IHFD Governance Committee, my role compliments the mix of knowledge and expertise feeding into the audit. The role of PPI is essential for capturing the patient’s voice and ultimately ensuring that the patient experience remains a central focus for the audit.
