No clinically meaningful differences in hospital processes for femoral neck fracture care were found following the implementation of state health care reform initiative in Massachusetts, according to study results.
Researchers assessed the differences in hospital processes for fracture care and quality measures for the periods before (2003 to 2006) and after (2008 to 2010) health reform in Massachusetts via the Act Providing Access to Affordable, Quality, Accountable Health Care of 2006 among 23,485 patients treated for femoral neck fracture.
