What is it about?
Changes in bed management and access policy aimed to shorten Canadian hip fracture hospital stay. Secular trends in hip fracture total, preoperative, and postoperative stay are unknown. Hip fracture stay shortened from 2004 to 2012, mostly from shortening postoperative stay. This may reflect changes in bed management rather than access policy.
