A quasi-experimental evaluation of the association between implementation of Quality-Based Procedures funding for hip fractures and improvements in processes and outcomes for hip fracture patients in Ontario: an interrupted time series analysis
CONCLUSION: Evaluation of the QBP program is crucial to inform ongoing and future changes to policy and funding for hip fracture care. The introduction of the QBP Hip Fracture program, supported by evidence-based recommendations, was associated with improved application of some evidence-based processes of care but no changes in clinical outcomes. There is a need for ongoing development and evaluation of funding models to identify optimal strategies to improve the value and outcomes of hip fracture care.STUDY REGISTRATION: Open Science Framework ( https://osf.io/2938h/ ); first posted 13 June 2022.PMID:38409524 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02702-8
