Osteoporosis model of care

ARCHI is a great resource for clinicians interested in innovation.  See what others are doing and share your ideas. A new resource published there recently is the Osteoporosis Model of Care by a group from the Bone and Joint Institute in the  Hunter New England Local Health District.  

It is a multidisciplinary team-based model which has created efficiencies in detecting and management of osteoporosis with improved patient outcomes. It is designed for patients over 50 years of age, presenting to the Emergency Department with a minimal trauma fracture. The patients are identified, referred and managed with intervention and follow up.  There's a lot more information at the ARCHI site, including presentations, fact sheets and contact details for the team responsible.
