Study objectivesAn evidence-based quality improvement intervention will overcome multiple barriers to best practice and improve rates of diagnosis and effective treatment for osteoporosis in high-risk patients. The intervention will be directed at patients (education and counseling) and their primary care physicians (reminders and opinion leader generated and endorsed single page guidelines).
Ethics approval(s)University of Alberta Health Research Ethics Board, first approved 1st December 2003, updated annually on anniversary date, most recent 1st December 2006 (ref: HREB#4478).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedFragility fracture patients with osteoporosis
InterventionMultifaceted intervention that consists of the following: patient specific reminders; single page treatment guidelines generated and endorsed by local opinion leaders; patient education and counseling.
Control group is 'usual care', defined as provision of generic osteoporosis-related educational leaflets at time of fracture.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe proportion of patients starting bisphosphonate treatment within 6 months of fracture
Secondary outcome measures1. Starting any effective osteoporosis treatment (bisphosphonates, calcitonin, raloxifene, or hormone therapy)
2. Bone mineral density testing
3. Self reported diagnosis of osteoporosis and other knowledge
4. Satisfaction with care
5. Health related quality of life
