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

2013, almost 59,000 are Pacific (our largest
Pacific community) and 17,500 Maaori. About
77% of people are living in areas of high
socioeconomic hardship. 21 primary care
practices are supported by Alliance Health+,
National Hauora Coalition, Procare and Total
Healthcare
Eastern Locality
Our second largest locality with over 146,000
residents in 2013. This includes more than
51,000 people of Asian ethnicities and over
18,000 people aged 65 years and over.
General practices in the Eastern Locality are
supported by East Health Trust PHO, ProCare
PHO and National Hauora Coalition PHO
Manukau Locality
Our largest locality of over 181,000 residents in
2013. This includes almost 40,000 Pacific people,
42,000 Maaori people and 41,000 Asian
ethnicities. About 50% of people are living in
areas of high socioeconomic hardship. 44 general
practices are supported by ProCare, National
Hauora Coalition and Total Healthcare
Franklin Locality
Our most rural locality with over 67,000 residents
in 2013. Approximately 13% of people are aged
65 years and over. There are 8 General Practices
all supported by ProCare and Alliance Health+
PHOs.
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.

SOME WHANGANUI FACTS-2014
• 11 (10.9) new ACC falls claims a day from people aged
over 50 years
• $2,157,749 paid in 2014 for active claims
• 70 fractured hips from those domiciled in Whanganui
(more than one a week)
• Average length of stay in hospital for hip # is 11.3 days
• 86% # hips operated on same or next day
• In the 50-59 year age group,
those that fell and sustained a
# or dislocation – 8.34%
(national 8.78%)
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
team

FALLS PREVENTION PATHWAY
OSTEOPOROSIS & FRAGILITY FRACTURE
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
Healthy homes – insulation and assistance for over 65 years
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
• Encouragement towards personal goals
• Knowledge of community support
• Partnership to reduce harm.
