Nurse Led Virtual Fracture Clinics

The Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC) model launched in August 2022 and in the first 6 months, 386 new patient referrals have been managed under the mode. and freed up the equivalent of 6 fracture clinics per month. This has meant that there has been a reduction in the amount of fracture clinics needing to be overbooked. Financially it has been determined that the VFC model is saving our health $28,800 per year in patient travel costs as well as generating revenue of approximately $61,440 in its first year. In total the finance department has calculated that between savings and revenue the department will be $132,004 better off each year.
