This symposium focuses on the standards of longitudinal care of hip fracture, from the immediate post-operative time, through post-acute rehab and potential return to their preinjury living environment ensuring seamless transitions throughout an episode of care. Learning Objectives: (1) prevent, identify and treat in-hospital post-operative complications including management of hip fractures including swallowing difficulties, delirium, pain management, DVT prophylaxis and fluid management; (2) define general principles of medical management of post-acute care of hip fracture patients in a skilled nursing facility including medical complications; (3) identify key challenges to physical and occupational rehabilitation in post-acute care settings with the aim of optimizing short term functional recovery; (4) review standards of post-rehab care in the community or LTC, the burden of comorbid conditions, long-term prognosis of hip fracture patients, and the importance of evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis.
