About the costing report
The objective of the clinical and resource impact report is
to assist NHS boards in Scotland to plan for the financial
implications of implementing the SIGN Guideline 111 ‘Management of
hip fracture in older people’ recommendations considered to have
the greatest resource impact. This report does not reproduce the
SIGN guideline and should be read in conjunction with it.
The total costs of implementing these recommendations across
NHSScotland are estimated to be £1,728,000 per year. £173,000 in
hospital costs would be saved by the risk reduction in the
incidence of symptomatic DVT. There would be further savings in
reduced acute hospital stay and post-discharge but these have not
been quantified or costed.
Costing template for management of hip fracture in older
people
The report is included in a costing template. The template contains
costs for each hospital and NHS board. It is designed to be used as
an online template and can be adapted to suit individual user’s
needs. STEP 3 Costing report summarises the costs, together with
how the costing template was developed. It is designed so it can be
printed out as a hard copy report for local
use.
Target users
This clinical and resource impact report will be of interest to
health professionals involved in budgeting, finance and
implementation in primary care, hospitals, community health
services and voluntary and community organisations.
