Our Vision/Goals

We join the National Osteoporosis Foundation and the National Institute of Health’s “Pathways to Prevention” program to achieve a goal of fracture risk reduction by 2023 through Population Health.  Our company’s vision and goals align with this effort. We strive to:

  • Reduce the Care Gap that exists for 80% of patients who sustain a fracture; are never worked up for the underlying cause of the fracture or initiated on any treatment and experience increased morbidity & mortality

  • Expand the nationwide implementation and optimization of Fracture Liaison Service programs and protocols, which are a demonstrated solution to address this Gap in Care 

  • Mandate that Fracture Liaison Service programs or secondary fracture prevention protocols exist in every practice or organization that treats patients who have sustained a fracture due to osteoporosis

  • Ensure all patients who have sustained a fracture have access through a Clinical Care Pathway to a FLS or a provider who adheres to a secondary fracture prevention protocol

  • Improve identification of patients at risk for fracture by increasing number of and reimbursement for DXA screening

  • Reduce the incidence of subsequent fractures in patients by 50% through the use of approved pharmacologic treatments

  • Standardize the guidelines for Osteoporosis Treatment

  • Reduce healthcare costs associated with secondary fractures currently estimated to be $6.3 Billion per year and rising

  • Train more Advanced Practice Providers to assume the role of FLS Coordinators

  • Improve and expand utilization & reimbursement of Telemedicine technology in FLS Clinics

 

“When I joined the South Texas Fracture Prevention Clinic in 2017 as their FLS Provider, I was motivated by the opportunity to provide a better continuum of care for patients who have suffered fractures due to Osteoporosis. The RPJ FLS team played a critical role in helping to fast track my efforts as an FLS provider.  RPJ FLS helped me develop and execute an efficient process of identifying, investigating and initiating treatment in patients.  RPJ FLS also helped educate our staff on billing, coding, quality measures and data registries. Their ongoing support, advice and guidance has helped me build a robust clinic that has dramatically increased the number of patients we see each month.
