Worldwide, an estimated 1.6 million people per year suffer hip fractures.

Given the increase in life expectancy and the proportion of older people

among total population, it is projected that this amount will rise to 6.3

million by 2050.

In Argentina, information regarding hip fractures is

scarce and discontinuous.

Pasos Program® | Comprehensive

Management of Hip Fractures®

 

The Pasos Program® arises as a response to the lack of local and updated information to improve the quality of healthcare of those affected.

 

It is a management model based on evidence, implemented in public
and private healthcare institutions throughout the country, aiming to
learn about the impact of hip fractures in Argentina, reach consensus
on clinical practice guidelines and design prevention strategies to
promote healthy aging.

 

This is a pioneering development in the region, which gains special significance as it is framed within the Decade of Healthy Aging 2020-2030, proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Purpose

The implementation of the Pasos Program® allows to produce
local epidemiological data for:

  • Improve the quality of care
  • Promote active aging and psychosocial wellbeing of those affected and their environment
  • Manage available resources in an efficient and transparent fashion
  • Design evidence-based public policies
  • Produce new knowledge

For Whom

The information generated by the Pasos Program®
directly and indirectly benefits:

  • People over 60 years affecetd by hip fractures: by avoiding delays in the healthcare process and promoting social integration.
  • Health care team: by strengthening healthcare practices through specific training.
  • Public and private healthcare institutions throughout the country: by promoting healthcare quality improvement and the optimization of resources.
