A new UK-wide audit has been launched to improve the care of patients with hip fracture. The audit aims to help reduce the currently low and variable rates of investigation and treatment of osteoporosis in elderly people who are admitted to hospital with fragility fractures. The audit system, called the national hip fracture database, will gather data submitted voluntarily by hospitals around the United Kingdom. Its design is based on an audit of myocardial infarction care, the myocardial infarction national audit project (MINAP), which has had a major role in improving the management of heart attack, including reducing the "door to needle time" for use of thrombolytic drugs. The hip fracture database will audit hospitals against six standards proposed in a guide to best practice, TheBlue Book on the Care of Patients with Fragility Fractures, published last week by the British Orthopaedic Association and the British Geriatrics Society. . . .
