Congratulations to staff members and providers involved with the Geriatric Hip Fracture Program at Princeton Medical Center (PMC).
The program was recently certified by the International Geriatric Fracture Society (IGFS) as a Premier Level program, the highest level available. The IGFS conducted a virtual survey and extensive data review to evaluate the program, which met or exceeded targets set by the IGFS in areas such as length of stay, in-hospital mortality, readmissions, and time to surgery.
The survey team praised the program’s interdisciplinary approach in supporting orthopedic surgical care. The surveyors were particularly impressed with the engagement demonstrated by the physical therapists, geriatricians, and anesthesiologists involved.
