PS Suite EMR
Our Osteoporosis custom form is designed to support clinicians in the early identification and management of osteoporosis. It enables them to assess a patient’s fracture risk using current guidelines and the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). The form includes an osteoporosis and falls assessment tool, available in both PDF format and for users of PS Suite (Telus) EMR. Based on established guidelines, the tool can be integrated into EMR to enhance osteoporosis-related care in family practice.
