Abstract
In 2014, >24,000 people suffered a hip fracture in Australia.
1/3 of these people live in residential care.
In other patient groups, multidisciplinary care improves processes of care, outcomes.
Less clear whether CGA-based approaches work in this group on return from acute care.
Can we improve mobility & QoLwhile decreasing mortality & falls?
