| Opportunity to mobilise 1 day after surgery | This is a measure of whether a staff member tried to begin mobilisation with the patient on the first post-operative day. This is a measure of service delivery and does not measure whether the patient was actually able to mobilise because the patient may still be too unwell after surgery to be able to mobilise. | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | ||
| Fall with fractured neck of femur (NOF) operated within 48 hours | This measure describes the number of people with fractured NOF who had an operation for their fractured NOF within 48 hours of admission. The Hip Fracture Care Clinical Care Standard recommends that surgery is performed within 48 hours of the patient presenting to hospital if no clinical contraindication exists and the patient prefers surgery. >When interpreting this measure, it is important to remember there may be a number of reasons why surgery was delayed, such as medical instability or a need for further investigation. |

| Fall without fracture bed-days | This measure shows the total number of days spent in hospital following an acute admission for a fall for people without fractures. It replicates 'Fall without fracture admissions' but shows bed-days (ie, the total amount of time spent in the hospital) instead of admissions. It is a proxy for the hospital resources that are used by different types of fall admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside a hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. Reducing the length of stay, as above, can help to maintain function and independence in older people. This indicator aligns closely with the system-level measure framework contributory measure for Acute Hospital Bed Days. | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | ||
| Fall with other fracture bed-days | This measure shows the total number of days spent in hospital following an acute admission for a fall for people with other fractures. It replicates 'Fall with other fracture admissions' but shows bed-days (ie, the total amount of time spent in the hospital) instead of admissions. It is a proxy for the hospital resources that are used by different types of fall admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside a hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. Reducing the length of stay, as above, can help to maintain function and independence in older people.

| Fall with fractured neck of femur (NOF) bed-days | This measure shows the total number of days spent in hospital following an acute admission for a fall for people with fractured NOF. It replicates 'Fall with fractured NOF admissions' but shows bed-days (ie, the total amount of time spent in the hospital) instead of admissions. It is a proxy for the hospital resources that are used by different types of fall admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside a hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. Reducing the length of stay, as above, can help to maintain function and independence in older people.

| Falls bed-days | This measure shows the population rate of days spent in hospital following an acute admission for a fall. It replicates 'Total admissions' but shows bed-days (ie, the total amount of time spent in the hospital) instead of admissions. It also includes all falls with and without fractures. It is a proxy for the hospital resources that are used by different types of fall admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside a hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. Reducing the length of stay, as above, can help to maintain function and independence in older people. This indicator aligns closely with the system-level measure framework contributory measure for Acute Hospital Bed Days. | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | ||
| Fall without fracture length of stay | This measure shows the average length of time that a person without fractures spent in hospital after an out-of-hospital fall. This measure is calculated by dividing the total number of bed-days by the number of admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. | National Minimum Dataset (NMDS) | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |
| Fall with other fracture length of stay | This measure shows the average length of time that a person with other fractures spent in hospital after an out-of-hospital fall. This measure is calculated by dividing the total number of bed-days by the number of admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. | National Minimum Dataset (NMDS) | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |

Improving the rehabilitation process inside hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. | National Minimum Dataset (NMDS) | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |
| Falls length of stay | This measure shows the average length of time spent in hospital by people admitted with an injury due to an out-of-hospital fall. This measure is calculated by dividing the total number of bed-days by the number of admissions. Improving the rehabilitation process inside hospital can reduce the time spent in a hospital bed. | National Minimum Dataset (NMDS) | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora |
