548 frailty analysis across populations: the use of the hospital frailty risk score in specialised services using nhs national data

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the first application of the HFRS to a national dataset to describe service outcomes and mortality for older people undergoing a range of specialised interventions. This information was used to identify those that might benefit from holistic assessment, aid prognostication, commissioning and service planning. It informed the promotion of quality improvement work in this area via the Specialised Clinical Frailty Network. By implementing the HFRS, changes in outcomes can be plotted across years to assess improvements, performance and benchmarking.
