Addressing the Care Gap and Reducing Costs

people prov copy

 

Osteoporosis leads to over 200,000 fractures annually in Canada, yet only 20% of patients receive the care needed to prevent future fractures—this care gap results in costly repeat fractures and increased healthcare expenses.

Half of hip fracture patients had a prior fragility fracture.

Effective medications reducing repeat fractures by 50% cost less than $400/year.

 

The custom form addresses this gap by:

  • Preventing Fractures: Reducing costly repeat fractures, particularly hip fractures, which average over $20,000 in acute care.
  • Lowering Costs: Proactive care reduces hospitalizations and long-term care needs.
  • Closing the care gap with this tool enhances patient outcomes and delivers substantial healthcare cost savings.
