The problemA fracture (any site) is associated with 2-

3x increase in future fracture risk

The opportunityAppropriate targeting of treatment for

osteoporosis halves future fracture risk (including risk of hip fracture)

The Challenge

Can systematic post-fracture assessment for fracture secondary prevention be delivered

cost-effectively to an entire healthcare region?

Page 7: Putting FLS into context: Patients, professionals and policymakers

Aim of the Fracture Liaison Service

To offer all women & men aged 50+ years who present with a new fracture (excluding those

sustained in road traffic accident or in fall from above head height) assessment for treatment for

fracture secondary prevention

Page 8: Putting FLS into context: Patients, professionals and policymakers

Key components of a FLS

• Fracture case-finding

• Fracture risk assessment

• Implementation of fracturesecondary prevention

NHS Quality Improvement Scotland national auditSecondary fracture prevention by FLS vs other models

A multi-centre national audit conducted in Scotland compared delivery of secondary prevention for fracture patients attending 6 hospitals with various service models:

– Fracture Liaison Service (Centre W)

– GPs could refer fracture patients for open-access DXA assessment (Centres G,S & A)

– Orthopaedic surgeons advise fracture patient to attend GP for referral for DXA (Centre H)

– No structured service or access to local DXA (Centre I)

• Audit findings:

– 95% of wrist fracture patients were offered assessment and/or treatment at the FLS centre in comparison to 21% at centres without an FLS

– 97% percent of hip fracture offered assessment and/or treatment at the centre with an FLS versus 25% at the centres with other service structures

• Fracture Liaison Service model closed secondary prevention gap for patients presenting to hospital with new fragility fractures

FLS: cost-effectiveness evaluation

West Glasgow FLS• First 8 years’ data: 11,096 fracture patients• Age 50-104, 78% women

• 80% underwent FLS assessment• 49% had DXA + 17% compliance review w/o DXA• 14% treated with Calcium and Vitamin D w/o DXA• Overall 60% were treated

Per 1000 fracture patients:• 18 fewer fractures (including 11 hip fractures)• Cost saving £26,000 (after assessment & drug costs)

QIPP:Quality, Innovation, Productivity, Prevention

• Fracture Liaison Services deliver innovative, preventative care that will improve quality and reduce costs through a reduction in unscheduled emergency admissions.

• FLS addresses all elements of the QIPP agenda and the overarching objective of the NHS Outcomes Framework.

“I'd like to dispel the misconception that nothing can be done to prevent or treat osteoporosis.

“It is possible to achieve at least a 25 percent reduction in the hip fracture rate in the United States if a more active role is taken by all orthopaedic surgeons in osteoporosis disease management.

“We've seen it; we've done it.”

Professional consensus guidance on hip fractures2007 Blue Book and National Hip Fracture Database

Clinical standards link Blue Book to NHFD1,2:

1. All patients presenting with fragility fracture should be assessed to determine their need for antiresorptive therapy to prevent future osteoporotic fractures

2. All patients presenting with a fragility fracture following a fall should be offered multidisciplinary assessment and intervention to prevent future falls

Guidance applicable throughout UK 2007 Blue Book and National Hip Fracture Database

• The Blue Book highlights the need for consistent delivery of NHFD standards 5 and 61,2:

 

“…the most practical option available to the NHS to attenuate the rising incidence of hip fractures is to ensure that every patient presenting today with any fragility fracture receives effective secondary preventative care.”

1. BOA-BGS 2007 Blue Book2. National Hip Fracture DatabaseBoth available at http://www.nhfd.co.uk/

“Establishment of an integrated Fracture Liaison Service in every UK hospital, which operates in close collaboration with local general practice, offers the optimal system of healthcare delivery to implement NICE guidance consistently for all patients presenting with fragility fractures.”

1. Opportunities to prevent recurrent falls and fractures are being missed

2. Commissioning is patchy, rarely providing a coordinated falls and fracture strategy

3. Many clinical services were not adhering to the NICE CG21 and TA87 (now TA161)

Page 38: Putting FLS into context: Patients, professionals and policymakers

RCP-CEEU national organisational audit 2009Recommendations

• Primary care organisations (PCOs) should develop commissioning strategies that include:

− Case finding systems in hospital and community settings to identify high risk fallers

− Adherence to NICE treatment guidelines with monitoring by local audit

− Clinical leaders including a consultant with job plan commitment

− A Fracture Liaison Service

− Widespread and accessible evidence-based exercise programmes

− Targeted use of validated home safety assessments

Page 39: Putting FLS into context: Patients, professionals and policymakers

RCP-CEEU national organisational audit 2009Recommendations

• The Department of Health should review how it can best support these developments by:

– Provision of advice on commissioning– Strengthening incentives– Provision of useful metrics for falls prevention,

fractures and osteoporosis treatments

Falls and fracture care and preventionA road map for a systematic approach

Hip fracture patients

Objective 1: Improve outcomes and improve efficiency of care after hip fractures – by following the 6 “Blue Book” standards

Non-hip fragility fracture patients

Objective 2: Respond to the first fracture, prevent the second – through Fracture Liaison Services in acute and primary care

Individuals at high risk of 1st fragility fracture or other injurious falls

Objective 3: Early intervention to restore independence – through falls care pathway linking acute and urgent care services to secondary falls prevention

Older peopleObjective 4: Prevent frailty, preserve bone health, reduce accidents – through preserving physical activity, healthy lifestyles and reducing environmental hazards

Stepwise implementation - based on sizeof impact

The Coalition Government and OsteoporosisComments from the new Healthcare Leaders

Andrew Lansley MPMonday 5th Oct 2009

“While we do as well as the rest of Europe on heart disease, we are much worse on deaths from cancer, from lung disease, from osteoporosis and from arthritis.”

Monday 29th June 2009

Osteoporosis: Health Services, Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made in implementing the osteoporosis diagnosis and prevention scheme provided for in the Primary Medical Services (Directed Enhanced Services) (England) (Amendment) Directions 2009. [282131]

David Cameron MPThursday 20th August 2009

“The growth of long-term conditions: As people live longer they're more likely to live for more of their life with at least one long-term condition like Diabetes, Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's. It's estimated that by 2025 over six million older people will be suffering from a debilitating long-term illness. The number of people with dementia will have increased to around one million; with osteoporosis to over four million; with hearing loss to around ten million. These are increases of up to fifty per cent from today.”
