This three-part virtual certificate course, co-provided by the AOA’s Own the Bone Program and NAON, highlights how bone health evaluation and management can help to improve patient outcomes both post-fracture and prior to elective spine and total joint procedures. Participants will hear from expert faculty about program models, pharmacologic treatment, bone health imaging, prior authorization strategies, and much more. Knowledgeable speakers will share their expertise, and participants will have opportunities to engage in Q&A, discussion, and patient case studies
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the fragility fracture epidemic and how secondary fracture prevention efforts help solve the problem.
- Analyze multidisciplinary implementation considerations for a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) model of care for secondary fracture prevention.
- Investigate and practice completing a patient work-up for osteoporosis.
- Discuss current and potential pharmacologic management strategies for the patient with or at risk for osteoporosis.
- Investigate multidisciplinary post-fracture management and prevention strategies related to bone health through case studies.
