Abstract

The successful implementation of a geriatric fracture program is dependent on engaging a multidisciplinary team. The goal of these programs is to address the unique needs of patients with geriatric fracture by providing the support necessary for return to their prefracture level of activities of daily living.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the steps to plan and implement a geriatric fracture program in a hospital and lessons learned from our experience initiating such a program.
