We are delighted to recognise @TUH_Tallaght as the winner of the 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 in the 2024 Irish Hip Fracture Database National Report. Tallaght delivered the largest improvement of any hospital, increasing its Best Practice Tariff (BPT) achievement from 14% in 2023 to 37% in 2024, a 23-percentage-point improvement in just one year. This reflects the commitment, collaboration and determination of a truly multidisciplinary team. As detailed on page 32, the hospital introduced several key changes that strengthened the entire hip fracture pathway: - Hip Bleep system to ensure immediate alerting of hip fracture cases in ED. - A streamlined ED-to-ward admission pathway, prioritising early assessment, bed allocation and rapid Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block for pain relief. - A ring-fenced Hip Fracture bed, enabling timely transfer and improved performance on the 4-hour standard. - 7-day physiotherapy service, supporting early mobilisation and adherence to IHFS 7. - Establishment of the Orthogeriatric service, providing comprehensive geriatric assessment, falls prevention, bone health assessment and delirium screening. The team has also embedded a culture of reviewing audit data regularly, using it to identify delays, refine processes and sustain improvement. This award celebrates their outstanding progress and their commitment to ensuring that older adults with hip fractures receive timely, high-quality and compassionate care. #IHFD2025 #HipFracture 🔗d7g406zpx7bgk.cloudfront.net/x/0ad2a3642d/i…
