COMPLICATIONS
Currently care provided in geriatric rehabilitation after hip fracture in the Netherlands is difficult to define due to the diversity in care pathways used. This is due to the fact that GR facilities use diverse care pathways and that care must be adapted for the individual needs and complications. Moreover, there is little consensus about time allocation, as well as on assessment instruments/screening needed to evaluate progression. More standardization of care pathways will support the implementation of the available evidence in GR facilities and will facilitate randomized effectiveness research. A standardized care pathway allows less variation in patient care and more clarity for healthcare professionals. Further research is needed to investigate whether a standardized care pathway is effective for GR.
