Our medical student Eshan presented his Medical Scholars project at the @HandSurgeryAssn Annual meeting. His project looked at frailty & gait problems among patients with FOOSH injuries. Congratulations Eshan!

@HandSurgeryAssn Her study found that patients with higher social needs are more likely to delay seeking care & have worse physical function (PROM scores). Congratulations Chidimma!

@Stanford_Ortho @OfficialJAAOS Thank you to all of our collaborators from the SWIFT Initiative. We are so grateful for your continued engagement in this important work! Link to the article here: journals.lww.com/jaaos/fulltext…

@Stanford_Ortho @OfficialJAAOS We found eight themes of drivers of delayed TTS: (1) patient health; (2) structural drivers of health; (3) care coordination; (4) prioritization; (5) improvement climate; (6) availability; (7) incentive structure; and (8) empowerment.

The newest publication from the SWIFT Initiative: Drivers of Delayed Time to Surgery for Hip Fracture Patients: A Multi-Center Qualitative Study. We conducted a qualitative study of SWIFT Sites to identify drivers of delays in TTS for patients with a hip fracture
