The main contents of these systems are rapid surgical stabilization for rapid remobilization, treatment with standardized paths and regular communication within the team and a well-functioning discharge management. Furthermore, the organization is a key ingredient in secondary prevention of geriatric traumatology.CONCLUSION:
If this system can be implemented as a whole, this will lead to an improvement of the functional outcomes for the patient as well as to cost savings.Key words
