Atlas of healthcare
variation
• Falls in people aged 50 and over
• Atlas looks at whether there is variation
by DHB and opportunities for quality
improvement:
– People with one or more ACC claim for fallrelated injury
– Admissions following a fall
– Hip fracture rates following a fall
– Management: time to operation and
medications for bone health
Atlases
Unwarranted variation
Jack Wennberg:
‘Variation in the utilization of health
care services that cannot be explained
by variation in patient illness or patient
preferences.’
Taxonomy of variation1
• Effective care
• Preference-sensitive care
• Supply-sensitive care
Appleby, Raleigh, Frosini et al. Variations in health care: the good, the bad
and the inexplicable. Kings Fund (2011).
This is not a league table
• High is not necessarily better
• Low may not be worse
• The middle might not be right

Key findings
Of people aged 85+:
• 28% had an ACC claim in 2014 for a
fall-related injury
• 11% were admitted to hospital
• Average LOS was 15.5 days
Hip fracture:
• 50% were in those aged 85+
• Women had twice the rate
Key findings – variation
Average bed days (falls)
• Two-fold variation: NZ mean 11.2 days, range 7.3 –
14.7 days)
Medications for bone health in 6 months following hip
fracture:
• 21% dispensed bisphosphonate
– Varied from 0% – 38%
– Significant reduction since 2012 (mean 33%)
• 68% dispensed vitamin D
– No significant variation
Key findings – update
• Rate of falls and hip fracture continue
to increase in 85 and over age group
• Average length of stay continues to
vary 2-fold
• The use of bisphosphonates varies
more than 3-fold and has significantly
decreased since 2012
These data raise questions
• Why do some DHBs have
consistently higher rates?
• What impact might orthogeriatric
services have on these data?
• What about Fracture Liaison
Services?
Suggested actions
In your DHB area: know your data –
what’s your plan?
• Topic 10: 10 priorities in an
integrated approach to falls in older
people

Individuals at high risk of 1st
fragility fracture or other
injurious falls
Older people
Objective 1: Improve outcomes and improve
efficiency of care after hip fractures
Objective 2: Respond to the first fracture,
prevent the second – through Fracture
Liaison Services in acute and primary care
Objective 3: Early intervention to restore
independence – through falls care pathway
linking acute and urgent care services to
secondary falls prevention
Objective 4: Prevent frailty, preserve bone
health, reduce accidents – through
preserving physical activity, healthy lifestyles
and reducing environmental hazards

Phased approach

Phase I indicative time-frame 01 July 2016-30
June 2017 - all referrals for in home and
community strength and balance programmes
will be through CMH general practices
 Phase II indicative time-frame 01 July 2017 –
referrals for in home and community strength
and balance programmes will be through CMH
general practices as well as secondary, EC, ED
and St John services – ‘any door is the right
door.’
Funding
Population approach for general practice to
undertake telephone screening of at risk groups
2. In-home strength and balance programmes
delivered by community locality
physiotherapists and
3. That a review of the funding allocation is
undertaken at 1 year.

WHANGANUI 20 POINT WORK PLAN 2015-16
Within the 20 point work plan fracture liaison and
falls prevention
pathways were
developed using
co-design with
consumers and
A multidisciplinary

PATHWAY
ELECTRONIC INFORMATION TO GP
PRACTICES
• An Electronic Patient Report Form (ePRF) – will be sent to
GP’s after a health incident and will go live in April to GP’s
• Enable practices nurses to follow up falls risks
• St John will also be referring straight to Falls Team
DASHBOARD RED FLAG FOR FALLS RISK
• Patient Dashboard will identify at risk patients and
give us a red flag when:
– Patient aged 65+
– Patient must also have at least one of the following:
• An ACC45 submitted in the last year where one of the
read codes recorded suggests a fracture
• 4 or more long term medications
• or classified with: Alcohol dependence, Problem
Drinker, Stroke, Dementia, Motor Neurone Disease,
Multiple Sclerosis, Osteo Arthritis, Osteoporosis,
Parkinson's Disease

OUR FALLS PREVENTION TEAM IN THE
COMMUNITY
Consumers - utilising services and being proactive
Whanau /Family – supporting, promoting and referring
GP Practices – identifying need, responding and referring
Community Organisation – e.g. Age Concern providing Steady As
You Go Programmes and Car Fit
St John Ambulance – informing GP of risk
Aged Care – identifying risk and referring to GP
Equipment and alarms - home safety companies providing
equipment and personal alarms

Community pharmacists - providing medication reviews
EMPOWERING OUR OLDER PEOPLE
Taking Responsibility
Personal factors e.g. balance, strength,
Environmental factors e.g. mats, cold rooms, poor lighting
• Exercises to improve leg strength, balance and body awareness
• Regular check-ups with GP - Vitamin D and review of medications
• Eye-sight checks each year
• Non slip, well-fitting shoes
and slippers
• Check their home and garden
for trip hazards – install handrails
• Work towards a warm and dry home
WHAT CAN PRACTICES CONTRIBUTE
• Opportunistic screening - DEXA scans if meet
criteria
• Using the advanced form to refer
patients to the fragility fracture nurse
• Medication reviews
• Providing information to
enable patient to self manage
such as green prescription or self help groups
• Referral to specialist
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR PEOPLE
• More healthcare professionals on their team
• Information that is easy to read and helpful
