Project: Changes in Discharge Practices and the Effects on Osteoporosis Management in Post Fragility Hip Fracture Patients: A Quality Improvement Study
For his CQIP project, Dr. Willms aimed to improve the percentage of patients aged 50 and older who sustain a fragility hip fracture and begin anti-osteoporotic treatment to ~80% and initiate a fracture liaison service (FLS) in Saskatoon that will not only evaluate patients post hip fracture but all patients who sustain a fragility fracture to eventually prevent hip fractures.
