Bone Health
It is estimated that 3 million people in the UK have osteoporosis, and over 500,000 people present with fragility fractures to hospital in the UK each year, representing an estimated cost to the NHS of £4.4 billion a year.
Our Clinical Pharmacists can provide support to improve the management of patients with osteoporosis or those patients at high risk of a fragility fracture to ensure they are managed in line with the best practice guidelines.
Using your practice clinical system and our bespoke searches, Gretagrove Healthcare can:
- Identify patients not receiving optimal treatment as per national guidance
- Collate patients with a high risk of fragility fracture who are currently not being treated
- Analyse prescribing data for patients on chronic bone health treatments and optimise prescribing, thus providing best value to NHS primary care organisations and provide treatment support
Our Clinical Pharmacists can also support with Quality Outcome Framework (QOF) disease register maintenance ensuring appropriate patients are coded correctly and practices are rewarded for their care.
High-priority patients will be flagged for practice review and will be signposted to educational materials to help understand their fracture risk and treatment supporting concordance.
Practices will be provided with a summary report to demonstrate Quality Improvement in the management of patients with osteoporosis or high fragility fracture risk to support future workstreams and medicines management audit cycles.
