Pharmacists Improving Osteoporosis Management in Long-Term Care Using Fracture Risk Assessments: A Feasibility Study

The primary outcome of this study is to test the feasibility of pharmacists completing Fracture Risk Scale (FRS) assessments using resident data routinely held by long-term care (LTC) facilities. Secondary outcomes are to ascertain the proportion of residents assessed as high fracture risk who currently receive osteoporosis medicines and explore whether under- or overuse of osteoporosis medicines is occurring based on residents' fracture risk.
