Delay, postponing and cancellation of hip fracture surgery leads to unnecessary starvation and adverse effects on patients and resources. Best Practice Tariffs (BPT) have been introduced to incentivise organisation into optimising the overall care for this type of injuries. Retrospective observational analysis of all consecutive cases of hip fractures over a period of 18 months; this period spanned the introduction of BPT: 10 months before and 8 months after. Data on delay, postponing and cancellation of surgery were recorded and analysed.Introduction
