RAC residents are often prioritised for early discharge back to RAC and are at risk of disjointed care and limited support in their functional recovery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aim<\/jats:title>\n To compare next\u2010of\u2010kin and RAC staff perspectives on the discharge care transition from hospital following hip fracture surgery, using routinely collected questionnaire data from a geriatrician\u2010led virtual service. A secondary aim was to describe clinical outcomes including mobility, readmission and mortality rates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This prospective descriptive study was conducted between 1\/5\/22 and 30\/4\/23 in an Australian metropolitan region. Paired responses from next\u2010of\u2010kin and RAC staff were analysed to assess agreement on key aspects of discharge care planning, discharge processes and post\u2010discharge outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n We analysed 94 paired responses (next\u2010of\u2010kin and RAC staff) for 47 older persons. Low levels of agreement were observed in goal\u2010setting, timing of discharge, discharge summaries, pain management and mobility. Agreement was highest at conclusion of the virtual care service when 79% pairs felt the older person's care needs were being met at the RAC facility. Limited mobility improvements were observed, with 19% regaining baseline mobility within a median of 18.5\u2009days after surgery. The 30\u2010day readmission rate was 13%, and 12\u2010month mortality was 34%.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n While there was high agreement that care needs were eventually met at the RAC facility, gaps remain in pre\u2010discharge communication and post\u2010discharge mobility and pain management. Clinicians should address communication on discharge to enhance transition of care from the hospital.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.70600","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T15:49:33Z","timestamp":1786031373000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Discharge care quality on transition from hospital to residential aged care after hip fracture: paired next\u2010of\u2010kin and staff responses"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0960-1104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mui Kin","family":"Kok","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine Royal Perth Hospital Perth Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sally","family":"Burrows","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Perth Hospital Research Foundation & School of Medicine University of Western Australia Medical School Perth Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Etherton\u2010Beer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing The University of Western Australia Perth WA Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"Australian Institute of Health and WelfareHip fracture care pathways in Australia catalogue number PHE 336 AIHW Australian Government 2023.
