Noble’s Hospital is outperforming all other providers on a key section of the National Hip Fracture Database, which has published its report for 2023 (based on hip fractures in 2022).
This is evidence of Manx Care being the best of all UK providers on the timing of surgical intervention following a hip fracture – an outstanding achievement for the Island.
In terms of other KPIs, out of 169 providers, Noble’s is 8th for KPI 6 (discharge home), 9th for KPI 4 (Prompt mobilisation) and 15th for KPI 0 (Admission).
As of 2023, Manx Care is starting to improve its performance across a number of the other KPIs, and it is possible that the organisation will be ranking near the top across all indicators in time for next year’s report.
Ian Wright, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, said:
'I’d like to thank the whole team, who have pulled together to ensure that hip fracture care at Noble’s is such high quality, reflected in our performance on the National Database. The published report reflects work done in 2022. We’re already seeing an improved performance this year across the other key indicators such that next year I hope we’ll be towards the ‘top of the league’ overall. It’s excellent news for our patients and important to acknowledge the hard work of our colleagues.'
