Participating parties and their roles and responsibilities
| Participator(s) | Roles and responsibilities |
| Central project group/steering committee | The project group is responsible for the general oversight of the entire project. |
| Participating hospitals | They will implement the NOM protocol locally, and will provide data needed to evaluate the effect of the implementation. They will need to allow local training and participate in interviews to gain insight into their experience with NOM implementation. |
| Patients and/or proxies | Will be asked to voluntarily participate in interviews and provide feedback on the chosen treatment and SDM process. |
| Dutch Hip Fracture Audit (DHFA) and Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing | They will provide the data so the hospitals can use it as mirror information. The DHFA data (which are existing data) will be used as preimplementation and postimplementation data, and will thus allow accurate monitoring of the impact of NOM implementation. |
| Scientific associations (Dutch Trauma Society (NVT), Dutch Association of Surgeons of the Netherlands (NVvH), Dutch Orthopaedic Association (NOV) and Dutch Association of Clinical Geriatrics (NVKG)) | The scientific associations are responsible for education for medical specialists and residents-in-training. They will play a key role in the education sessions and in forwarding information on our project to their members. |
| Members of the National Association of General Practitioners (LHV) and the Association for Older Adult Care Physicians (Verenso) | Will be kept informed about this project through mailings and presentations during their annual conferences. |
