Variability in Care Pathways for Hip Fracture Patients in The Netherlands.

: Integrated orthogeriatric care has demonstrated benefits in hip fracture management for older patients. Comprehensive care pathways are essential for effective integrated care delivery, yet local variability in care pathways persists. We assessed the current hip fracture care pathways in the Netherlands, focusing on the variability between these care pathways and the degree of implementation of orthogeriatric care.
