One-liner#
Screening and treatment planning reminders (confirm guideline thresholds and local formulary).
Practical workflow#
- Identify patients needing screening (age/risk-based)
- If DEXA available: document results and fracture risk assessment used
- Counsel calcium/vitamin D, strength/balance training, fall risk
- If treating: document medication choice, contraindications, and monitoring plan
Documentation checklist#
- Indication for DEXA and/or treatment
- Risk factors and prior fractures
- Plan for follow-up DEXA (if used) and monitoring labs when applicable
