The Clinician’s Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis
The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (“BHOF”), together with AvoMD, a software platform that translates clinical evidence into the workflow, has developed a decision support toolkit to support clinicians in the prevention, risk assessment, and treatment of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures.
The clinical decision support tool, developed by BHOF with support from AvoMD, is intended for use by primary care providers and specialists assisting in the treatment and management of osteoporosis, such as rheumatologists, endocrinologists, geriatricians, and orthopedists.
Well-Woman Visit App
BHOF and National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (NPWH) are pleased to announce the launch of a new Bone Health module as part of the NPWH Well-Woman Visit App.
Recognizing that half of all women over the age of 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis in her lifetime, BHOF and NPWH experts worked together to create a specific section on bone health to be included in the Well Woman App. This new module includes information about bone health throughout the lifespan for women, including prevention, diagnosis, and osteoporosis treatment options.
The Well-Woman Visit App incorporates clinical guidelines and recommendations from multiple sources into a single tool that is easy to navigate and during a patient’s visit.
Support for the updated bone module was provided by Amgen.
Radically Simple Tool
BHOF is pleased to announce the launch of the Radically Simple Tool via the AvoMD platform.
This tool is intended to aid clinicians in communicating with patients about risk assessment and prevention of osteoporotic fractures.
