Data collection
fracture
During the period March 2020 to June 2021, retrospective data were requested from eight GR facilities that received patients (post-acute hip fracture patients) of the HIPCARE study admitted into GR from December 2018 to November 2020. All patients, at the time of data collection, had finished the GR program and were discharged home. We contacted the research coordinator, manager, or physiotherapist working in the GR to collect hip fracture care pathways and DBCs from the GR facilities. For the DBC registration for reimbursement, we focused on the first five HIPCARE patients in each GR facility who completed the GR and were subsequently discharged home. In the Netherlands, DBC is a compulsory registration for insurance purposes regarding the time that is used by healthcare professionals involved. It provides information about healthcare professionals consulted and the treatment administered in minutes per healthcare professional per week per patient during GR [
