Fracture Screening and Prevention Program

Our Impact in Ontario

 

Since its inception in 2007, the Fracture Screening and Prevention Program (FSPP) has had a profound impact on the lives of more than 120,000 patients. Currently active in 36 hospitals, rehabilitation units, and family health teams throughout Ontario, FSPP plays a pivotal role in identifying and evaluating patients with fragility fractures, thus enabling timely diagnosis and appropriate care. In doing so, FSPP significantly contributes to the reduction of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs associated with osteoporotic fractures in Ontario.

For FSPP hospital teams and administrators

Share your experience of hip fracture care

If you make decisions about hip fracture care, or provide it as a physician or nurse practitioner, they would like to hear from you in a 30-minute Zoom interview.
