Lessons Learnt
There is not a consistent method of collecting or categorising data
– Manual vs electronic, separate vs clinical records
We don’t have the information to identify where PIs are occurring
– Don’t know where to focus improvement effort
Need to collect data by facility type
– Dementia, Private Hospital, Rest Home etc
20% of ARRC Hospitalisations involve fracture of the Hip or Femur
