Osteoporosis Management with EMR Toolkits
Ideal for family physicians, nurse practitioners, clinic managers, and EMR administrators.
The EMR Osteoporosis Toolkit is now available for OSCAR, TELUS Health PS Suite, and Accuro Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. The new version of the Osteoporosis Main Form has been updated in partnership with Amplify Care (formerly eCE) to align with the Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of Osteoporosis and Fracture Prevention in Canada: 2023 Update.
The updated toolkit integrates with OSCAR, TELUS Health PS Suite, and Accuro EMRs, providing an efficient way to assess fracture risk and deliver targeted care, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Addressing the Care Gap and Reducing Costs
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 that reduce repeat fractures by 50% cost less than $400 per year.
Our Osteoporosis Assessment Tool addresses this gap by:
- Preventing fractures: reduces 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: enhances patient outcomes and delivers substantial healthcare cost savings.
