Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD)
The Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD) is a web based system that uses the HIPE (Hospital In-patient Enquiry) portal infrastructure. It audits care standards and outcomes for patients with hip fractures.
**Purpose:** Develop a prospective audit of case-mix, care standards and outcomes for hip fracture care and use synergy of standards, data, feedback and quality improvement to focus attention on hip fracture care locally and nationally. It benchmarks care and uses data to create a drive for sustained improvements in clinical standards and cost-effectiveness.

In scope:
All hospitals that provide acute hip fracture ser
**Coverage:** National - all acute hospitals that operate on hip fracture patients (16 Hospitals in total).
Coverage is based on discharges within the calendar year for example 1/1/22-31/12/22. The percentage of patients with HIPE episodes for hip fracture with data coded on the IHFD are included. The HIPE syste

| Provenance | Data is taken from the medical record by clinical staff with permitted access and inputted into the IHFD add-on screen on the HIPE portal. Data can be entered while the patient is an in-patient and completed on discharge. Data entry is requested to be complete within the quarter following discharge from hospital. All data must be submitted by the close of the HIPE file, usually one quarter after end of calendar year. A data collection/ reporting calendar with quarterly targets is used each year for the hospitals to align their data entry to. |
