... Finally, it concluded that separate studies to determine the outcomes of care provided to the Medicare population will be valuable, especially if those analyses advance the understanding of the effectiveness of prevention strategies, Claris whether interventions offered to the elderly reduce the incidence of hip fracture at any given age, and identify preferred patient management regimens. SELECTING PATIENT MANAGEMENT ISSUES Several factors affect the selection of patient management issues for effectiveness research into hip fracture.

... SELECTING RESEARCH TOPICS AND ACTIVITIES Content, Conduct, and Use of Research For high priority hip fracture research, the committee raised three additional points. First, it endorsed four generic subjects identified by the October 1988 workshop: prevention, generation and use of outcomes measures that include functional status and quality of life, analysis of mental and emotional dimensions of an illness (cognitive functioning, anxiety and depression)

... As effectiveness research proposals depend on the quality of the data collected and used, the hip fracture committee reiterated this general concern with respect to hip fracture. First, adequate data on health and functional status of patients with hip fracture must be available before any longitudinal studies of alternative therapies (surgical and rehabilitative)

... , readmissions, some complications, and other simple outcome measures. Thus, although the discussion emphasized the necessity of obtaining richer clinical and patient outcome data through, for instance, Medicare PROs or primary data collection, the potential of the existing data sets to answer some questions was acknowledged.
